"Take the example of Boaz' workers reaping a field when Ruth arrives."

Ruth 2:15-16 And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not: 16 And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not.

Excellent example. Is Boaz a "type" of Christ? I imagine the excitement that Ruth must have felt, when she realized what Baoz was doing, is the same as I felt when I realized that Christ does that for me.

I don't post much from work, but will try to make time today.
