And Boaz said unto her, At mealtime come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and he reached her parched corn, and she did eat, and was sufficed, and left.”
Ruth 2:14 KJV
After a hard labour of harvesting, at lunch break, the owner of the field, Boaz said to Ruth, “Come over here; eat some bread. Dip it in the wine.” So she joined the harvesters. Boaz passed the roasted grain to her. She ate her fill and even had some left over. This is a picture of the Lord Jesus giving us Himself as the bread and wine to refresh us as we co-labour with Him to harvest the field. Jesus is telling His followers today that the harvest is huge and ripe, but there are not enough harvesters to bring it all in; and He asks us to plead with the Owner of the Harvest to thrust out many more reapers to harvest His grain. Let’s obey Him because He obeyed His Father in giving us of Himself. Thank You Jesus!
