Pentecost — Ruth's Story of Loving Loyalty
The story of Ruth embodies vital truths relating to the Feast of Pentecost. It invites us to examine the relationship between God's covenants with the nation and with individuals. God's word provides the instructions we need to keep this holy time for all generations, so we can consider God's message for our time. The book of Ruth was traditionally read during this harvest festival and it reminded the people of their duty to care for the poor and the foreigner. The topic of gleaning as a way of providing charity for the needy was intimately tied to Pentecost/Feast of Firstfruits. But Ruth's personal story goes beyond these surface connections to embody the essence of God's nature and his purpose.
God, in his covenant relationships with his family, both national and individual, has always looked for 'chesed' — covenant loyalty, loving kindness. Ruth's story is set in the time of the judges, a time when many in Israel had strayed from God, forgetting their covenant, and had embraced the lifestyles of the pagan cultures in their midst. So her story was unique, one of a foreigner embracing both the cultural heritage of Israel and more importantly a personal relationship with the God of Israel. Learn more about the book of Ruth and its connection to our covenant calling of loving loyalty to God and neighbour.
