The concept of a kinsman redeemer in Ruth is a picture of what Christ did for us. To redeem is to set free by paying a price. The characteristics of a kinsman redeemer are he had to be a near kinsman and had to be willing to pay the price.

Christ became flesh (John 1:14) and paid the price for our sin (I Pet. 1:18-19).
