What Does Luke 3:32 Mean?
These names breathe Bethlehem. Boaz the generous landowner married Ruth the gleaner from Moab; Obed was their child, Jesse his son, and David his grandson. Naasson, further back, was a prince of Judah in the wilderness.
Inside the Messiah's line sits a story of loyalty and redemption, and a foreign-born woman welcomed by grace. The book of Ruth closes with these very names, never guessing how far they led. Small faithful choices became the ancestry of the Christ.
