路得---信心恩典安息(路得记1-4章)
Ruth---Faith, Grace, Rest (Ruth 1-4)

一. 信心 Faith

1. 你的神就是我的神---信心的话。尽管困难，前途茫茫，路得紧紧的抓住神，信祂是真神，活神。信心的对象乃是神。
   Your God shall be my God—the word of faith. In spite of all opposition and discouragement, Ruth lay hold of God, and believed in the living God
   
   
2. 神使万事互相效力，叫祂的儿女得益处，重新点燃拿俄米軟弱的信心
   All things work together for the good of God’s children, and He rekindles Naomi’s weak faith
   
   
3. 信心使路得离开摩押地，信心也使她与神联合，与同走道路的人联合
   Faith separates and also unites. Ruth separated from her sister-in-law and her people, and united with God and those walking in the same path
   

二. 恩典 Grace

1. 恩典带拿俄米回家。人自己没有力量回来，但恩典 有恢复的能力
   Grace has brought Naomi home again (1:21). We can never come back by ourselves. It is only through the power of grace that restores the wanderer
   
   
2. 拾麦穗是律法规定，表示神的恩典和怜悯，外邦人也可得（利23:22）
   Ruth realizes it is by grace that she can glean among the ears of corn. Even though she is a Gentile, it is the field of the Lord
   
   
3. 恩典白白赐给不配的人，但接受恩典的人要勤劳。路得拾得的超过所想的，自己吃饱，也让婆婆吃饱
   Grace was given freely to the unworthy people. Ruth worked hard and reaped far more than her expectations; there is always abundance beyond our need.
   
   
4. 怎样得神的恩典？来投靠在神的翅膀下（2: 12; 3: 9）
   How do we receive God’s grace? Let us come under the wings of the Lord

三. 安息 Rest

1. 从赐恩者得恩典，更使我们渴慕能安息在这位赐恩者里面
   Every gift from the grace-giver makes us long for the rest which only be found in Himself
   
   
2. 我们靠谁得以进入安息？我们至近的亲属，救赎主，耶稣基督
   Through whom can we enter into the rest? Our kinsman-redeemer, Jesus Christ
   
   
3. 安息的结果---路得作了波阿斯的妻子，生的儿子是大卫的祖父
   The result of the rest---Ruth became Boaz’s wife, and bore a son who is David’s grandfather
