簡 介: The light of God’s grace shines brightly in the book of Ruth after the dark days of Judges. Ruth the Moabitess is introduced into the genealogy of David and thus ultimately also into the ancestral line of our Lord Jesus Christ. Boaz, the mighty yet gracious Kinsman-Redeemer, refreshes our hearts as a beautiful picture of Christ. Although 1 Samuel begins with the ruin of Israel’s priesthood under Eli and his wicked sons, God does not permanently give them Saul, the man after His own heart, David a type of Christ, whom they persecute. Henry Rossier in his commentary on 1 Samuel, now translated form French into English, shows us, through David’s adversities, many aspects of Messiah’s sufferings in the midst of his own people. Also, he gladly points out that during this dark time, there were those, too, whose hearts were drawn out to David – faithful witness to his afflictions who would one day reign with him. These lessons find practical application in our lives today as well.
