ruth the moabitess, ancestor of Jesus Poster

I'd never been struck quite the same before with how ruth, a non-jew was an ancestor of Jesus. she was grafted in for her love and faithfulness, a clear foreshadowing of what was to come. this one is dedicated to all, regardless of race or national origin, who by grace have faith in and love for the Christ Jesus. - But Ruth replied, "Don't urge me to leave you or turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God will be my God." - RUTH 1:16 - - Then the women said to Naomi:"Praise be to the Lord, who this day has not left you without a kinsman redeemer. May he become famous throughout Israel! He will renew your life and sustain you in you in your old age. For your daughter-in-law, who loves you and who is better to you than seven sons, has given him birth." Then Naomi took the child, laid him in her lap and cared for him. The women living there said, "Naomi has a son." And they named him Obed. He was the father of Jesse, the father of David. - RUTH 4:14-17 - - And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you; You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favour rests." - LUKE 2:8-14 - christian affirmation and encouragement
