There is famine in Bethlehem! The meaning of that name is house of bread!!

Elimelech travelled from Bethlehem to the land of Moab. He died in the very place where he hoped to live in abundance. In addition, his two sons who married Moabite women, also succumbed to death.

It was at the time of harvest of barley that Naomi and Ruth came to Bethlehem. God once again gave them abundance in the house of bread.

By the grace of God, Ruth came to the field of Boaz. Subsequently as the wife of Boaz! Mother of Obed…God blessed Ruth.

However, Ruth didn’t know one thing: That years later, the true redeemer will be born in Bethlehem!! 

Ruth who trusted under the wings of the Lord, never thought of being listed in the genealogy of that redeemer. 

So Naomi returned from Moab accompanied by Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, arriving in Bethlehem as the barley harvest was beginning. -Ruth 1:22

Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is the Messiah, the Lord. Luke 2:11
