A LONG LINE OF LOVE

Ruth 1:1-18

Some of the most popular music today comes out of places like Nashville, Tennessee and Austin, Texas. I am referring, of course, to Country and Western music. Country music is known for its colorful lyrics. I recently read a story about a Supreme Court Justice in the States, William O. Douglas, who was an avid country music fan. He delighted in recounting the titles of his favorite songs. Among them were, "When the Phone Don't Ring, You'll Know It's Me," "Walk Out Backwards, So I'll Think You're Coming In," and "My Wife Ran Off with My Best Friend, and I Sure Do Miss Him." These gems were found in an album titled "Songs I Learned at My Mother's Knee, and at Other Joints." (Rodney Jones and Gerald Uelmen, SUPREME FOLLY, (New York: W.W. Norton & Company, Inc., 1990), pp. 151-153.)

One sentimental Country song popular a while back was titled, "A Long Line of Love." It tells of a young man who is getting married. His sweetheart asks him if he thinks they can make it. His answer is "I come from a long line of love." Then he talks about his parents' marriage and his grandparents' and at the end of each refrain he sings, "Forever's in my heart and in my blood...I come from a long line of love."

Today I would like to tell you that Jesus came from a long line of love?

Ruth 1:1-18 MKJV

(1) And it happened in the days when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem-judah went to live in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons.

(2) And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem-judah. And they came to the fields of Moab and stayed there.

(3) And Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died. And she was left, and her two sons.

(4) And they took wives for themselves from the women of Moab. The name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth. And they lived there about ten years.

(5) And Mahlon and Chilion also died, both of them. And the woman was left without her two sons and her husband.

(6) Then she arose with her daughters-in-law so that she might return from the fields of Moab. For she had heard in the fields of Moab how Jehovah had visited His people in giving them bread.

(7) And she went out of the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her, and they went on the way to return to the land of Judah.

(8) And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, Go, return each one to her mother's house. May Jehovah deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead and with me.

(9) May Jehovah grant you that you may find rest, each in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them, and they lifted up their voice and wept.

(10) And they said to her, Surely we will return with you to your people.

(11) And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters. Why will you go with me? Are there yet sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?

(12) Turn again, my daughters, go. For I am too old to have a husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should have a husband also tonight, and should also bear sons,

(13) would you wait for them until they were grown? Will you shut yourselves up, not to have a husband? No, my daughters, for it makes me very sad for your sakes that the hand of Jehovah has gone out against me.

(14) And they lifted up their voice and wept again. And Orpah kissed her mother-in-law. But Ruth clung to her.

(15) And she said, Behold, Your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods. Return after your sister-in-law.

(16) And Ruth said, Do not beg me to leave you, to return from following after you. For where you go, I will go. Where you stay, I will stay. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God.

(17) Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. May Jehovah do so to me, and more also, if anything but death parts you and me.

(18) When she saw that she was determined to go with her, then she quit speaking to her.

Our story begins with a family of four—the husband, Elimelech; the wife, Naomi; and their two sons. Like many families today this family was experiencing some economic difficulties. A famine had spread throughout their land, and food was scarce. So Elimelech and Naomi packed up a small U-Haul and moved to Moab, where there was more food.

One day, not too long after, Elimelech died unexpectedly. By this time both sons had met local women and were married. Then both sons died. All this happened within a relatively short span of time. Naomi was devastated. Opportunities for women in that day and time were practically non-existent. Naomi was left all alone in a foreign country. All she had left were two daughters-in-law. How would she survive?

The only viable option was for her to return to her hometown and hope there would be a place for her somewhere among her relatives. And thus she and her two daughters-in-law set out for the land of Judah. As the three widows began their journey, it occurred to Naomi that it might be better for her daughters-in-law to remain in their own country. So she encouraged them to go back to their mothers' house. They were still young; they could find new husbands and have the security she could not give them.

Naomi loved her daughters-in-law, and she wanted to see them happy.

Naomi kissed them and the three women wept.

However, Ruth and Orpah, her daughters-in-law, wanted to stay with Naomi. They protested, but Naomi knew that these women would not be accepted by her relatives in her home country because they were foreigners. The law was very clear about such things. No Moabite could enter the household of faith even after ten generations. If her daughters-in-law remained with her, they would never be accepted among her people. So Naomi once again encouraged them to stay in their homeland. She told them that it was absurd for them to follow her, "Do I still have sons in my womb that they may become your husbands?" she asked them. Finally, Orpah decided that her mother-in-law was right. It would be best for her to remain in her own country. Ruth, however, still wanted to remain with Naomi. Ruth loved Naomi deeply.

It was in this context that Ruth spoke some of the most famous words in all of literature:

"Where you go, I will go," she told Naomi, "your people shall be my people and your God my God."

THE STORY OF RUTH AND NAOMI IS WHAT LOVE IS ABOUT.

It is about loyalty and faithfulness and mutual devotion.

A three-year-old girl became very ill. She was so critically ill that she had to stay in the hospital for many months. In all those months, her mother never once left her hospital bed. A petite woman, weighing little more than ninety pounds, this mother stayed right with her daughter day and night, displaying an amazing strength which inspired her family and friends.

Eventually the little girl recovered. Once she was home, everyone asked her mother how she had done it. How could anyone have the strength to do what she did? The young mother smiled warmly, and told her questioners, "She's my child. I love her more than breathing. She needed me. She needed me as never before. I had to do it. I had to be there for her!" (James W. Moore, WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS....READ THE INSTRUCTIONS, (Nashville: Dimensions for Living, 1993), pp. 32-33.)

That's love, isn't it? It's not, "I love you for what you can do for me." Or "I'll love you as long as it is convenient." No. It's, "I'll love you no matter what. I'll always be there."

In the classic Russian novel CRIME AND PUNISHMENT, a young student murders two people for their money. He rationalizes his crime by telling himself, first, that Napoleon killed thousands and became a hero; second, that his victims were unimportant people; and third, that he would use the money to further his career for the good of humanity. Most of the story, however, is taken up not with the crime but with the young student's punishment—punishment not from without but from within. Guilt rages inside, and his body, mind, and spirit grind away at each other and wear him down.

There is a young girl in the novel, Sonia, who loves this young murderer. Hers is a rare kind of love. It is not cheap sentiment. First of all, her love drives him to confess that he is the murderer. She tells him he must do penance to try and expiate his guilt. He does. He kisses the ground he has stained with human blood and cries out his confession to the four corners of the earth. Finally he is convicted and sent off to Siberia, suffering from tuberculosis and pneumonia. But the story doesn't end there. The girl, Sonia, follows him over the hard miles to Siberia. Throughout his long nine-year sentence, she stays by his side. She keeps them both alive by scrounging whatever food she can find. Her love never quits. CRIME AND PUNISHMENT is about real love. (Stan Mooneyham, DANCING ON THE STRAIT & NARROW, (San Francisco: Harper & Row, Publishing, 1989), pp. 34-35.)

Could Hollywood produce such a film today? I'm not sure it could. The values of our society have changed too much.

First of all, here is a man feeling the weight of his guilt who confesses his crime for the sake of his soul. What does Hollywood know about such despair?

And here is someone who loves him so much that she causes him to face up to his wrongdoing and then sticks by him through all the subsequent punishment. Hollywood would never buy it. It's out of touch with where we are. It's about faith and values and undying loyalty. But, friends, that is what love is.

That is what real love is.

I wonder, as young couples stand before the altar in their wedding ceremonies, if they understand the love of Ruth for Naomi? Ruth was committed to her mother-in-law even when there was nothing for her to gain and everything to lose.

So these two women set out for Bethlehem, Naomi's home town. Naomi's relatives greeted her fondly as they entered the city. But she told them, "Don't call me Naomi. Call me Mara," which means bitter, "for my life has been a bitter one."

The only food Naomi and Ruth had to eat after that was what was left in the farmers' fields after harvest. This system was known as "gleaning." Farmers were not permitted to go over their fields a second time. Whatever was left from the first harvest was to remain for the widows and poor to collect.

One day a relative of Naomi's named Boaz noticed Ruth gathering grain. She was different from the other women, more graceful. Naomi played match-maker and fixed her daughter-in-law up with Boaz. After the wedding, Ruth bore a son in Bethlehem, named Obed, and Obed was the father of Jesse, and Jesse was the father of King David, and David was eventually an ancestor of another baby boy born in Bethlehem many years later named Jesus.

Isn't it interesting that in the lineage of Jesus there is a Moabite woman named Ruth? She is there because of her loyalty to her mother-in-law.

Do you see now why I say that Jesus came from a long line of love?

AND SO DO WE.

That is the heart of our message today. So do we.

THAT KIND OF LOVE IS WHAT THE CROSS IS ABOUT.

It is about a love that never quits, never gives up, and never fails. It is agape love—love from the heart of God. It's not, "I love you for what you can do for me;" or "I'll love you as long as it is convenient."

It's, "I'll love you no matter what. I'll always be there for you."

And you and I are the recipients of that love. There is a red ribbon that extends from our lives all the way back to Calvary. Over the past two thousand years folks just like us have believed in that love, and they've passed that love on.

Through plagues and famines, oftentimes under barbaric oppression, they did not let go of it. And we are the recipients of that love.

We come from a long line of love. It would be tragic if in our obsession with the satisfactions of the moment, we should allow that ribbon to become frayed and finally to break.

We come from a long line of love.

Virginia Duran was born in a migrant worker camp in central California. Her father was in jail, and her mother could not afford her. There was a doctor in the area, also named Virginia, who made sure that there was enough food for the young girl and her mother. That's why her mother named her Virginia: after the doctor who helped feed, clothe and pay the rent for them. As Virginia grew and her family moved, she eventually lost contact with that caring doctor.

Years later, when Virginia was grown, she was visiting Mexico when she saw a picture of a poor girl in the newspaper. At that moment Virginia realized that, if it hadn't been for that one doctor many years before, she could have ended up like the girl in that picture. When Virginia went home she told her sister about the picture. She had decided that she wanted to do something to help poor children. The two sisters traveled to Mexico and found a dusty village filled with migrant children. Many of the children's parents were unwed teenagers or alcoholics. Many of the children were also malnourished and sick. Virginia and her sister helped as many of these children as they could. Today they have 35 children in their care.

As Virginia was taking care of the children one day she suddenly remembered something she had long forgotten. Doctor Virginia once told her that she, the doctor, had been rescued by a wealthy woman herself. That woman had also been saved from poverty by yet another woman, who had been rescued by another woman—back six generations.

All of these women lived in the west, and all were surrogate mothers for children who desperately needed love. Interestingly, all of the women were named Virginia.

"You're the seventh in a long line," the doctor told her. "And someday, you'll do as much for someone else." (Virginia Duran, "Someday, You'll Do As Much," GUIDEPOSTS, May 1994, pp. 16-19. )

Virginia Duran was in a long line of love.

So was Jesus. So are you and I. Do you know about that kind of love?

IT IS THE LOVE THAT SAYS,

"I love you—not because I need you but because you are you. I will always be there no matter what."

That, my friend, is God's love.

"I love you—not because of what you have done but because you are you."

"I love you—not because of what you will do for me or not do for me, but because you are you."

"I love you—not because of what you are, who you are, where you will go or where you have been. I love you because you are you. And even when you fail, even when you let me down, even when you ignore me, even when you would walk away from me ... I will still love you enough to spread my arms and die on the cross for you...

I LOVE YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE YOU....

"Forever's in our heart and in our blood;

We come from a long line of love."
