<TITLE>16. Par 39-41</TITLE>L-39 And so he went down to the gates (now look) to do the work of a kinsman. You ministers, this is not new to you; but for the congregation. Went down to the gate, where all the elders of Israel come in, and a kinsman now, to redeem, he must be a near kinsman. He just... He can't be just anybody; he must be a kinsmen. And look, how God, being back in Spirit, was manifested in flesh and took on the human form of a man to become kinfolks to the human race, to know what suffering means, to know what sickness means, to know what temptation means. God become man to become kinfolks with man, to redeem man back to Hisself. Oh, how, if you can only see that, sinner tonight, it ought to melt your heart.
See that God, back yonder... beginning, holy... When He walked with Moses, as a Pillar of Fire, on top of a mountain, if any man touched the mountain, he must be killed. God trying to get into man's heart...
The next thing God did was manifest it in the flesh: Christ. God was in Christ recognizing the world to Himself. He was born a man here, made kinfolks, in order to pay the price of redemption. Then He was killed there in order that His Spirit might be set free to come back in the form of the Holy Spirit. All that God was He emptied into Christ. All the great eternals of God was emptied into Christ; and all that Christ was, He emptied into the Church. And men and women are afraid to claim their God-given privileges, and stand upon the truth of it.

L-40 "A little while and the world seeth Me no more, yet, you'll see Me, for I will be with you; I'll be in you even to the end of the world," Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever, your Kinsman Redeemer, God Himself made flesh here on earth to take away the sins and clean out the way, that He might fellowship again with His creature. Amen. God in you the hope of glory, the Holy Spirit Itself, coming into the human heart to take away sin and condemnation, to heal you and make you well, and fellowship with Him. There you are.
Boaz had to become a... Went and he was a close kinsman. And then, to make a public testimony, it had to be a public testimony that he had redeemed Naomi and all that she had lost. Amen. I know I act a little funny. But I just can't help it, when my heart bubbles, when I think of that great picture, how he had to redeem Naomi in order to get Ruth. When he had to redeem her, he had to redeem everything she lost.

L-41 And when Christ came to become Man here on earth, and be a Kinsman Redeemer, He redeemed man to everything he lost in the fall; Christ restored it to him in the Kinsman Redeemership. When He died at Calvary, your health, your Eternal Life, everything that you lost in the fall, Christ redeems you to it, for He's your Kinsmen Redeemer. Your health, your strength, and everything that you lost, belongs back to you tonight through the Lord Jesus. He became kinfolks to take away sin and sickness.
He redeemed her back everything she had. He plucked off his shoe and made a public ensign, that all that come in and out, might know that he had redeemed everything that Naomi lost, and he was in full possession. What a beautiful picture.
Christ, the old rugged cross hanging on Golgotha, paid the sin penalty. He was wounded there for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquity; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His stripes we were healed. Everything the human race lost in Adam, was redeemed when Christ, God, Himself, become kinsfolk with the human race and redeemed it back to His Maker. All that was lost, He redeemed back again. What a marvelous picture. Can you see it, sick folks?
Then He's here tonight in His great holy Being, His great august Presence, moving among the people, wanting you to believe that. That's all you have to do, just believe that, nothing else but just believe it, and watch Him reconcile us.
