Theme: Our world is full of meaning and significance, and it all points to God. We are valuable to God because He came to this world to live, die and love us. Bethlehem was host to the story of the preincarnation, before the incarnation of Jesus happened. Like Jesus, Ruth practiced self-sacrificed love and kindness for someone else at her own cost. Love comes into our world like a light in the middle of darkness and we all can experience and give the same love that God gave to us.
