Ru 2:10 "...Why have I found grace in your eyes...seeing I am a stranger?"
Mt 27:46 "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"
If the words of Ruth in the first verse are heard from the mouth of an inquiring sinner, the second verse is the answer to it. The former found grace because the latter was forsaken.
The blessing, the grace and the favor of salvation is offered to a spiritual stranger or a sinner because it was denied to the One who paid the penalty of our sins.
Favor to one because of the Forsaken other! As they say, grace is God's riches at Christ's expense. Will you freely accept, by faith in the Savior, the salvation which He wrought on the cross for you?
