Session 4

In Session 4 of 'Mothers of the Messiah' with Beth DeFazio, the focus shifts to Ruth, emphasizing God's perception of sacrificial love in the face of loss. Exploring the theme of hesed, the study delves into Ruth and Naomi's profound losses, Ruth's covenant kindness, and the contrast in Chapter Two. Discussion revolves around experiences of grief leading to the revelation of God's glory, reflections on hesed as giver or receiver, and gaining deeper insights into Ruth's story. Participants define 'redemption' and offer prayers of thanksgiving, seeking a spirit of sacrificial love inspired by Ruth, Naomi, and Boaz's example.
