Legacy (December 24, 2006) Ruth 4:1-22

Ruth 4 - Legacy

Christmas is about leaving a legacy.

Let me define what I mean by the word legacy. One definition for legacy is this: Something handed down or inherited from generation to generation.

Christmas is about what you hand down from one person to another. You leave a legacy for someone else to follow. In Ruth, we see a glmpse of legacy in three different ways.

God left a legacy in His Son Jesus Christ.
Now this is the genealogy of Perez: Perez begot Hezron; Hezron begot Ram, and Ram begot Amminadab; Amminadab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon; Salmon begot Boaz, and Boaz begot Obed; Obed begot Jesse, and Jesse begot David. (Ruth 4:18-22 NKJV)
