Judges 21; Ruth 1 [The Message]

Where is your home?

Naomi’s two sons and her husband had died in Moab. Their wives were encouraged to stay at their “home” in Moab, but Ruth said to her mother-in-law, “Where you go, I will go. Where you live (call home) I will live.” Ruth was willing to adopt a new home based on her relationship with her husband’s mother. She was willing to designate Naomi’s homeland as her new home and form a whole new network of family.

This happens when we accept Christ. His family, the Body of Born-again Believers, becomes our new home. At the Cross where He died, Jesus designated His mother, Mary, as the new mother to His Disciples there at the Cross.

Relationships in Christ’s Body of Believers actually become closer than those of our earthly families and Heaven and God’s Kingdom are our new HOME!
