Don't you think it's miraculous that you can turn struggle into some kind of wisdom for yourself?

That you can actually find love after you've been really hurt?

That you can rebuild after something precious has been stolen?

Ruth's prologue is tough right now, but it is going to tip us toward a brighter world.

So, how many of you, if we turn this place into a bit of a Bible trivia pub night,

could knock out the beats of the book of Ruth?

Show of hands.

You think you could do it?

Some of you could?

That's okay.

There's no shame here.

Honestly, until a few weeks ago, big parts of the story were kind of foggy to me, even me.

I'm a professional at reading the scriptures, so sometimes I also need reminders.

So the book of Ruth is the story of a family broken down by famine and then built back up by foreigners.

So here's some bonus trivia for you as well.

Ruth is one of the shortest books in the Bible, but it actually comprises one of the longest stories in the Bible.

Ruth is one of only two books named after a woman.

You better believe I was going to point that out.

Bonus points for the fact that

Ruth is the only book named after a non -Israelite woman.

And Ruth is a very, very important matriarch as far as the biblical story goes.

Does anyone know to whom?

She's the great -great -grandmother of?

I mean we can kind of trace everybody here right but King David so keep that in mind.

Today we will take our time to settle into the story

of Ruth by biting off just the first five verses

and after today we really haul so we're going to talk about prologue,

estrangement, what you're left with, and hope anyway.

Verse 1 opens pretty generically, but it tells us everything.

In the days when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land.

So a man from Bethlehem in Judah, together with his wife and two sons, went to live for a while in the country of Moab.

So the first thing we're told is that this story is embedded in the time of the Judges, where the Jewish scripture places

Ruth after the writings, linking it to this virtuous woman in Proverbs 31.

The Christian canon does, in fact, place Ruth after the book of Judges.

For context, my favorite book about Judges in my personal library is called Gift of the Grotesque.

So that does tell you something about Judges, that while there were brief periods of peace and stability in Judges,

it is mostly a book of horror and chaos.

We're told over and over again that the Israelites did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they suffered those consequences.

And then along comes Ruth.

Ruth does, in fact, begin with some horror.

There is starvation, there's displacement, and spoiler alert, up front here, there is a lot of death.

But Ruth will quickly become a story where, in fact, there are no bad guys, just people doing their very best.

So we are going to find a story full of kindness and generosity and even this Mr. Rogers,

like, won't you be my kinsman redeemer warmth to the people and the way that they treat one another.

But let's get to the hard parts first and then get them out of the way.

So here's what happens.

Again, in this opening line, we get the broadest sweep of the story.

A certain man, though not yet named, from Bethlehem, which means breadbasket,

goes to live in Moab with his wife and two sons because there is, ironic to the whole breadbasket thing, a famine.

And in biblical storytelling, famine shifts the stakes, pushing people from their ancestral land.

So where once they were rooted and at home they become strangers.

And curiously, there is this neutrality to the opening line.

Like we don't exactly know if we are meant to be critical of this man's choice.

We just don't know.

Should we question why it's just this guy's family who leaves and not others?

Is there this implication that he had the means to go and others did not?

So his wealth, it saves him, but does nothing for his neighbors?

I mean, that's what some of the rabbis suggest anyway.

But again, Ruth is a text that isn't interested in the bad guys.

This is prologue, and the meaning isn't actually in the past.

Now, I'm all for understanding your personal past.

I even preached a sermon this fall called Learning to Listen to Your Ancestors.

But right out of the gate here, I want to orient you to the energy of Ruth, to pull you toward a brighter future.

And this isn't a future that bypasses human involvement in favor of just waiting for God to act.

At every stop in this story of Ruth, you will see people considering their options,

problem -solving with others, acting strategically and deliberately, putting just one foot in front of the other,

knowing their rights, and advocating for their future.

Here's the deal with all that.

You might go your whole life and not actually be able to piece together the miracles that flow through your ordinary story.

Don't you think it's miraculous that you can turn struggle into some kind of wisdom for yourself.

That you can actually find love after you've been really hurt.

That you can rebuild after something precious has been stolen.

Ruth's prologue is tough right now.

But it is going to tip us toward a brighter world.

I think we need that right now. But first, some specifics.

Let's get to the who is who.

So the man's name was Elimelech, and his wife's name was Naomi.

And the names of his two sons were Malon and Kilion.

And they were Ephrathites from Bethlehem in Judah.

And they went to Moab, and they lived there.

Now Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died and she was left with her two sons.

So after no names were given in verse 1, we get this fire hose of proper nouns in verses 2 and 3.

Elimelech, Naomi, Malon, Kilion, all Ephrathites from Bed Brath,

bread basket, I knew I was going to do that, bread basket Bethlehem.

You try and say it three times really fast.

Bread basket Bethlehem in Judah.

And all these names, they actually have special meaning.

Elimelech means God my king.

Malon means weakly.

Kilion means to waste away.

And Naomi means pleasant or sweet.

And those are these breadcrumbs that will guide the whole story.

But let's take a moment to talk about Moab.

Moab is meant to stand in for a place of extreme extreme foreignness.

You see, back in Genesis 19, Sodom and Gomorrah have burned to the ground on account of unrelenting wickedness.

And alone with their father

Lot, two daughters think that they are the only people left in the world.

And so they get their dad super drunk, and their incestuous plan results in two sons,

one of whom is Moab.

100

Adding more fuel to the foreigner fire when the Israelites were hightailing it out of Egypt after their enslavement,

101

the Moabites, we're told, did not help them out with a little bit of food or water for their journey.

102

But, you ask, is there more reason to distrust these Moabites?

103

Why, yes, there is.

104

In Numbers 22 to 25, the king of Moab attempts to curse Israel through a prophet, and while that doesn't work,

105

the Israelites still mess around with the Moabites, have sex with them, and sacrifice to their gods.

106

These are two people groups that do not get along.

107

They have history and stories that they tell themselves to justify themselves about that history.

108

At some point, though, they were family.

109

Lot was Abraham's nephew, but eventually their descendants became estranged.

110

And while it's easy to look back on these ancient stories and think, you dum -dums, what a mess you have made of things.

111

Let's be honest here.

112

estrangement is a prickly and personal reality in many of our families.

113

It's thought that up to one in four people are impacted by some form of estrangement.

114

In addition, when asked about it, each side in estrangement lives in a totally different version of the story.

115

While one side attempts to establish new boundaries, the other side feels totally blindsided.

116

I'll tell you one thing that I know.

117

Estrangement is horrible because it comes from desperation.

118

In trying to understand the other side's desperation feels pretty impossible most of the time.

119

Maybe you didn't have to leave home because of a famine, but you did have to leave because it hurt you to stay.

120

Or the flip side, after doing your best,

121

the people you sacrificed so much for tell you that the home that you made for them wasn't good enough.

122

I am so sorry for any estrangement.

123

that you find yourself in.

124

I know it feels like an immovable force in your life.

125

And I know that that can haunt you.

126

But what if all the boundaries and the heartbreaks and the clashing memories,

127

what if they just aren't permanent?

128

Because nothing is try to leave just a little

129

ellipses in your estrangement just a dot dot dot toward some form of reconciliation even

130

if you can't quite plot it out right now because even Israelites and Moabites,

131

they find their way back to each other.

132

And this story, it is a love story.

133

So just put a pin in that for now.

134

Back to Ruth's gritty prologue.

135

Let's see what these fatherless men do next.

136

They married Moabite women, one named Orpah and the other

137

Ruth, and they had lived, after they had lived there for 10 years, both Malon and Kilian also died,

138

and Naomi was left without her two sons and her husband.

139

In just four

140

Hebrew words, Naomi loses the hope of a third generation.

141

Married 10 years, neither of the sons have babies.

142

In fact, in Hebrew, verse 5 doesn't even spell out Naomi's name.

143

It simply calls her Haisha, just the woman.

144

Like it hurts too much to get that close.

145

So before they know it, these three women are left without protection in a world that needs men to protect them.

146

And at this point, you might be saying, why did I come to church today, Bobby?

147

This story is bumming me out.

148

I get it.

149

The prologue certainly feels like it does.

150

But as far as literature is concerned,

151

a tragedy is when you begin with life and order and then end in ruin and death.

152

Ruth is not a tragedy.

153

Ruth is tragedy's inversion.

154

A better way to think of the story of Ruth is to note

155

that we are just not at the funny parts yet.

156

And I don't mean funny, ha -ha, but funny as it pertains to literature as comedy.

157

A comedy makes this ascent.

158

It goes from disorder and death to life and restoration.

159

And yes, Act I in Ruth is where death and threat abound.

160

But this is only the beginning.

161

It is only prologue today.

162

And none of this loss will define either Naomi or Ruth.

163

These two women will show more agency and self -determination than almost anyone else in Scripture.

164

Now, here's a little theory.

165

I have.

166

Throughout the entire book, the narrator only steps in to attribute an action to God directly two times.

167

And neither of those attributions are here in the prologue.

168

The first is in 1 verse 6, where Naomi hears third hand,

169

actually, that God has remembered the people back in Judah and provided them with food.

170

And that will get us rolling back to Bethlehem.

171

And the second incident is when Ruth gets with Boaz in the final chapter and the Lord makes her conceive.

172

And even there, no one hears from God directly.

173

The narrator simply makes the scribal point.

174

And my theory is that if you aren't used to having access to prophets and priests and temple rituals,

175

if you have never heard a sacred story that reflects your experience,

176

if the only times you knew that God spoke, it had to do with people who aren't like you,

177

well then you don't even need God to speak to be a part of God's good story.

178

Just by being alive, by pushing toward a better future, by getting through hard times,

179

by choosing new family when yours falls apart, you define your life not by the worst parts,

180

but by what you do with what you're left with.

181

One of my favorite things you'll see about Ruth is that she does not wait for God to say that she's included.

182

She just acts like she is.

183

I love that.

184

Some people wonder, maybe did a woman write Ruth?

185

or at least did women pass along her story to each other until it was written down by a man?

186

And who knows, but you can't help but trace this subversive perspective here.

187

In Ezra and Nehemiah, for example, the priests and the leaders,

188

they will oppose marriage by Jews to foreign women,

189

particularly Ammonites and Moabites, the descendants of Lot's daughters.

190

And Ruth reverses that.

191

So while this story starts heavy, it moves on quickly to offer this alternative view of family that will,

192

again, ultimately lead us to Jesus.

193

In fact, after chapter 1, our heroines don't dwell on their past anymore.

194

Again, we know that there's so much tragedy here in the prologue, but it doesn't exactly stick to them.

195

They refuse to be defined by the sickly story of others, the grief that they certainly move through,

196

and the infertility that threatened to halt their family name.

197

The thing you need to remember about Ruth is that it is designed with this perfect symmetry.

198

Chapter one mirrors chapter four, chapter two mirrors chapter three.

199

So listen for that in the weeks to come.

200

But for today, you can actually see the symmetry when you compare the prologue with the epilogue.

201

So we're going to kind of cheat a little bit and look at that.

202

In chapter one verses one to five, of course, we're introduced to this family story as if it's a family story of death.

203

But chapter 4, verses 18 to 22, the very end of this book, will give us a family story of life.

204

The epilogue will name descendants until we arrive where this little book has been driving all along.

205

Thanks to Ruth, a foreigner.

206

A Moabite, Boaz, whom we'll meet in chapter two, will have a son named Obed, and Obed will have a son named Jesse,

207

and Jesse will have a son named David, and of course, that's

208

King David to you.

209

So don't go thinking that your story is over or already written

210

or too broken to count for something your life is looping around in a sacred circle too

211

and by the time you come back around to the place you thought would break you a look

212

there's something special right there

213

in the thing that makes you different that makes you desperate for change that makes you long for more

214

it is this very thing this restless rebuilding

215

that will be the gift that you have to give to the world

216

the next part of your story it just might reflect the last hard parts opposite

217

you don't get the attention you needed as a child

218

well now look at you giving

219

so much attention to the children in your life you come from a broken family

220

or had parents whose marriage was

221

so toxic well now look at you forming partnership as true

222

equals your grandparents as they aged their world their thinking their interests

223

they got smaller now look at you learning new things as you age

224

this to me is one of life's greatest gifts that we get to make of something new

225

when we've been given something quite hard thanks to the hidden

226

work of god in partnership with the deliberate work of our healing phyllis tribble says

227

that in ruth the human movements they are open and deliberate,

228

while the divine activity is hidden and fortuitous.

229

So today, may you remember what that kind of hope might look like.

230

It's trust that even when a story starts with pain, God is not far off.

231

that maybe God is so close

232

that we can hardly tell God apart from the world

233

that we live in and the world that we work to make a little bit better right now.
