He’s our Kinsman Redeemer. Isn’t that right? God was manifested in the flesh to take our place, to be a Kinsman to us. As in the Book of Ruth, and Exodus, and so forth, how it preaches, teaches there of how that we become kinsmen to God, and God came down and dwelt in His Son, Christ Jesus, became Kinfolks to us. And He was our Kinsman Redeemer. And a public testimony was to be made before Israel at the gates, as Boaz kicked off his shoes to show that he had firmly redeemed Naomi, and in redeeming Naomi, he got Ruth the bride.
