Title: The Filial Piety of Ruth
Content A healthy mind comes from healthy conversation. Man is a spiritual and spiritual being. Personal health comes from spiritual and spiritual exchanges. This exchange is what Paul Tour calls a dialogue.
There are horizontal and vertical dialogues in dialogue. People prefer horizontal conversations. Because they are in the same environment, the same age, and at the same level, they can communicate well with each other. A dialogue that should take priority over this is a vertical dialogue. The perfect dialogue among vertical dialogues is dialogue with God. It refers to the answer of hearing the word of God's revelation and putting it into practice. In particular, conversations with parents are a channel through which the love of parents' lives is transmitted. Ruth's filial piety is characterized by a vertical dialogue with her mother-in-law Naomi. In conversation with Naomi, I felt and accepted my mother's love. Today, severance of communication with parents is filial piety.
Ruth says she will serve the God whom her mother-in-law Naomi serves. Blessing in the womb is receiving the inheritance of faith from parents, and filial piety is passing on the faith of the parents to the parents.
He is well aware that there is no one to take care of Ruth's mother-in-law Naomi. No one takes responsibility for Naomi. However, while Ruth gleaned with her mother-in-law Naomi, she takes care of her mother-in-law. This is the strength of Ruth's filial piety. Modern people feel grateful if their parents do well, and if parents do not do what their children want, they often become indifferent to their parents. It is easy for parents to provide for their children when they have the ability to show love to their children, but like Naomi and Ruth, it is easy to reject them if their parents do not do anything for them. Ruth honored her mother when she brought Isaac. Ruth's veneration was supreme. I unconditionally obeyed my mother's words. He obeyed the instructions from his remarried partner to the love between the two. Eventually, he married Boaz and David was born through the womb of a foreign woman, Ruth, and after that, Jesus Christ was born.
Judges and Ruth are intended to be edited side by side. Israel is a nation of God's children, but because they do not serve God and apostatize, they are invaded by the nations. However, although Ruth is a foreign woman, she receives great blessings by fearing and honoring God and Naomi.
Paul Tillich says: 'Homeland Germany is the best. This is not about being greater than other peoples. To me, she is like a unique mother.” My mother, objectively, is an ordinary woman. But for me, he is the best. Therefore, parents should also respect them.
