Discussion Questions
1. What was the difference in the response of Orpah and Ruth to Naomi’s suggestion that they return their families in Ruth 1?
What do you think are the reason(s) for the different response even though both initially wanted to stay with her?
2. How did God richly provide for Ruth in Chapter 2?
Does God always richly provide for all believers in difficult circumstances? Explain your answer.
3. Boaz foreshadows Jesus in the book of Ruth. Can you think of any other Old Testament saint that was allowed this privilege?
Recall an experience / incident that reflects the nature of Christ in us.
How does this help us to become more Christlike?
