The 12th picture of Christ - Boaz Ruth 2:5. When we glean the information given us here about Boaz we discover a wonderful type of our Saviour. He was a watchful redeemer. "Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this?" Ruth 2:5. She was spotted by him as a stranger in his fields. How watchful is the Lord of His people, even before they know Him as Redeemer! "He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous," Job 36:7. "I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye," Psalm 32:8 "Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; to deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine," Ps 33:18-19. "The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry," Ps 34:15. These promises were not just for the Jew but for Gentile believers as well. "For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil," 1 Peter 3:12.
