We live in a world of brokenness. There is no place where this is more evident than in the life of families. The signs of this brokenness and dysfunction are all around us. It is particularly evident as we look at the younger generation and their longing for community, for mentors and for authenticity. What is the hope for families? The answer is found in the Bible. The Bible is the story of God’s re-encounter with a broken world through Jesus Christ. One of the ministries of Christ is that he puts broken things back together. Today in the Word, we will read a section from the book of Ruth. It is a story about a kinsman or family redeemer. This picture however is evocative of the saving power of Christ. On Mother’s Day, we not only wish God’s blessings on all the moms here today, but we point you to the one who puts broken things back together. We encourage you to prayerfully read through all the Bible passages listed above to get the big picture.
