Ruth’s ambition is to turn this party into a marriage feast.  So the party is appropriate.  So Boaz’s bride is coming to him, and that’s a merry thing.  And that’s history.  History is Christ’s bride coming to him—and history ends with a marriage feast.  So true religion is a merry religion.

The way Christ was as the kinsman redeemer is the way you should conduct yourself too.  This is the pattern for the Christian.

Let’s look at how Jesus fulfills these kinsman redeemer (go’el) laws for us.  We’ll look at how the law is applied in Ruth, for the Church, and for us individually.
