The picture we see of family in the Old Testament is a grim one, yet a source of hope to use as a blueprint. It’s a wonder how a family survived after you look at the depth of the dysfunction that has been passed on for generations. We see rampant sins piled up that are deep and wide. The end of the Old Testament gives a stark warning of a curse on the land if we don’t figure this out. Fortunately, we have someone who does not come to get rid of our past, but to rebuild a new family. Jesus is the master builder who comes to break the curse off the land and our families if we build it as He designs. What does family look like in the New Testament? Is it a white picket fence with a swing set in the back, the parents living with low cholesterol, and setting up their retirement? Or did Jesus come to bring a family on mission because the stakes of hell and sin are high? As we begin our series on how to manage the household, let’s ask for God’s heart for His design of family—to build what He wants to sustain. Jesus didn’t come to give us nice, cordial families. He came to build families that carry His mission.

This week we follow the story of Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz and see a physical representation of a spiritual truth: there is possibility for true redemption (freedom), reconciliation (peace), and restoration (wholeness), no matter how difficult life’s circumstances. In this process, we learn that mere proximity to Jesus is insufficient for the lasting provision that we desperately need. In order to receive true and lasting redemption, reconciliation, and restoration, what’s needed is genuine relationship: Abiding in Christ.

Water baptism is much more than a symbolic act—it is a costly declaration that Jesus has our complete allegiance. Following Jesus requires us to surrender our reputation, relationships, resources, rights, control, and ultimately ourselves. But the cost of following Christ is not punishment or consequence; it is sacrifice, and what we sacrifice pales in comparison to what we gain in Him. Through Christ, we receive His presence, freedom, provision, purpose, eternal life, and the promise of sharing in His glory. Are you willing to surrender everything to follow Jesus, or is something you fear losing standing between you and the life He is calling you to live?
