Introduction:  We conclude our study on the book of Ruth this week as Ruth is redeemed and married to the her kinsman redeemer Boaz.
 
The issues of this book come to a dramatic head in the gate of the City, where matters of great importance were settled before sober and thoughtful elders. The kinsman-redeemer must meet three tests, if the redemption is to take place.

1. He must have the RIGHT to redeem. He must be a near kinsman with no nearer kinsman willing to redeem.
2. He must have the POWER to redeem. If he is poor, of course he could not redeem.
3. He must be WILLING to redeem .
Think upon these 3 tests in regard to Boaz, and in regard to our kinsman-redeemer, the Lord Jesus Christ.

I. The Kinsman Who Was Unwilling to Redeem
 
Ruth 4:1  Then went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down.
Ruth 4:2  And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down.


Boaz finds the man who was the closest to redeem Ruth.  Boaz comes to the gate of the city which was a good place to possibly find him, and the place of important business.  According to the law, those seeking refuge were to come to the gate.
