Redemption

Adam and Eve ate from the wrong tree, sinned, and were separated from God. From that point on, God's mission was set. Redemption.

The Bible is God's story of redemption.

I read part of Ruth's story today -- a story which culminates in her marriage to Boaz. She becomes the great-grandmother of David, and the ancestor of Jesus. I've always loved the story of Ruth, but today is the first time I really saw it as a step in God's work of redemption.

Relentless. Tenacious. Gracious and steadfast.
