Ruth or Orpah

And they raised their voices and wept again, and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her. Ruth 1:14

1. Ruth, blessed, among women, grace placed her in the noble line of the King of kings. (Spurgeon)

(better than Orpah's kiss)

2. Field of Boaz, (Ruth 2:2) outskirts of Bethlehem city of David, family's ancestral lands, where

David the shepherd boy tended sheep, where Jesus was born while shepherds tended their sheep.

If we do not need to fear our last and greatest enemy, death, then we do not need to fear anything. What a great Christmas present from God to us! John Piper
