马太福音-Matthew 1章5节
| 1:5 |
撒门从喇合氏生波阿斯，波阿斯从路得氏生俄备得，俄备得生耶西， And Salmon begot Boaz of Rahab, and Boaz begot Obed of Ruth, and Obed begot Jesse, |
Enlightenment:
If we are to know the story of Boaz, we must read the book of Ruth. It is a good story. Boaz is a type of Christ, and Ruth is a type of the church. The book of Ruth tells us that Boaz redeemed Ruth; he also redeemed the birthright for her. This means that Christ, as our real Boaz, has redeemed both us and the birthright.
Boaz redeemed his kinsman’s inheritance and married the man’s widow (Ruth 4:1-17); hence, he became a notable forefather of Christ, a great associate of Christ.
亮光
我们若要知道波阿斯的故事，就必须读路得记。这是个很好的故事。波阿斯是基督的预表，路得是召会的预表。路得记告诉我们，波阿斯赎回了路得，也为她赎回了长子的名分。这就是说，作我们真波阿斯的基督，赎回了我们和长子的名分。
波阿斯赎回他亲属的产业，并娶了那人的寡妇；（得四1～17；）因此，他成了基督显著的先祖，基督伟大的同伙。
