Scripture: Ruth 4:7-12

In ancient Hebrew society a pledge was made by the exchanging of sandals in front of witnesses. It was as binding as our signatures on contracts. Covenant community is not just a resource that we use to construct our lives. It is a collection of pledges to be shaped by our life together. Out of these commitments something new is born, like Boaz and Ruth’s child — the hope for redemption. But we have to give ourselves to the community to find this redemption.
