<TITLE>15. Par 57-60</TITLE>L-57 And notice. There at the end of the season, after she'd took her wheat and so forth, at the end of the season, she went back out, then that night, and here's where a beautiful type of the Gentile Church coming, I mean the true, Gentile Church. When she went out there that night, and found Boaz laying on the heap of wheat... What is it? In Him dwells all the Fulness of God, and the powers of God. Laying on the whole heap of the harvest. And she moved up, and absolutely exposed herself by laying down on his feet.
The Gentile Church, the real, true Church of God has exposed herself to public persecution by taking God at His Word, and saying, "I believe that Divine healing and the power of the resurrection. I believe that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." When all these old, cold, formal morgues say, "The days of miracles is past," we expose ourselves and lay it at His feet." Hallelujah!

L-58 Right in the darkest of hour, when midnight time, he woke up and looked around, and he seen Ruth, a virtuous woman, not ashamed of the Gospel, laying at his feet. He reaches up and gets his robe, and spreads it over her. You know what I mean, don't you? The Holy Spirit, throwed the Holy Spirit, as it was, being a type of Christ, over her, and sent her into the place and said, "Now, wait a minute. I've got to do a certain law. There's a law of the land of redemption, and I am thy near kinsman. And I know that you're a virtuous woman." God knows your heart, doesn't He? He said, "Now, in the morning, I will go down, and see if I can do the order of the kinsman."

L-59 Now, here's a great picture. The first: a redeemer, someone who can redeem a lost estate in Israel (you preachers know this), the man must first be a kinsman. He must be close kinfolks, not a way off kinsman, a near kinsman. And how could God ever become a close Kinsman? When God Himself was made flesh and dwelt among us, He become Kinfolks to the human race. That's right. The only way it could be. When God was made flesh here among us, He become Kinfolks, not to Angels, but to human beings. He never come in the form of Angel, but He humiliated Himself, and stripped Himself from all of His heavenly glories, and come down, and was made Kinfolks with man, in order to fulfill the law of kinsman redeemership. Oh, what precious love the Father had for Adam's fallen race. Gave His only Son to suffer and redeem us by His grace. There He is, a near Kinsman, God made flesh and dwelled among us, becoming Kinfolks to the human being, a Kinsman.

L-60 The next he must be, he must be financially able to do it. And who would be more financial? What kind of a debt could be paid? When God owns all the universes there is, and all the spaces, and all the times, and everything else, He was able financially. Hallelujah! But when He was in the form of Spirit, He could not do it, because He was Spirit, and man was human. And the Spirit was made flesh and dwelt among us, to become Kinfolks to us, in order to redeem us. You see it? Notice...
There's the spread of welcome to you tonight. When God, stripping Himself, coming out of the ivory palaces, taking upon Himself the form of sinful flesh, to humiliate Himself to come down, to be Kinfolks to the poorest beggar there is in the world tonight, to become a Kinfolks to him, Jehovah Himself, made Kinfolks to a beggar. "The foxes have dens, and the bird's have nest, but the Son a man don't have a place to lay His head." Born in a manger, wrapped in swaddling cloth, yet the very Prince of glory, the Dayspring from on high. Humiliating, bringing Himself down, condescending, coming down, to be made Kinfolks with a sinner, think of it people. How can you reject that matchless love?
