'''Ruth''', the baby sister of [[Jesus]], was born on Wednesday evening, April 17, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9_AD A.D. 9]. Due to the recent [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_126#126:2._THE_DEATH_OF_JOSEPH death of Joseph], [[Jesus]], to best of his [[ability]], endeavored to take the place of his [[father]] in [[comforting]] and ministering to his [[mother]] during this trying and peculiarly sad [[ordeal]]. For almost a score of years (until he began his [[public]] [[ministry]]) no [[father]] could have loved and nurtured his daughter any more [[affectionately]] and [[faithfully]] than [[Jesus]] cared for little Ruth.

As soon as Ruth grew up, she was taken in hand by her older sisters Miriam and Martha. In their time, the girls of [[Jewish]] [[families]] [[received]] little [[education]], but [[Jesus]] maintained (and his [[mother]] agreed) that girls should go to [[school]] the same as boys, and since the [[synagogue]] school would not [[receive]] them, there was nothing to do but conduct a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_school home school] especially for them.

Baby Ruth was the sunshine of the [[home]]; though thoughtless of [[speech]], she was most [[sincere]] of [[heart]]. She just about [[worshiped]] her big [[brother]] and [[father]]. But they did not spoil her. She was a [[beautiful]] child but not quite so [[comely]] as Miriam, who was the belle of the [[family]], if not of the [[city]]. After March of the year, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24_AD A.D. 24], all the older children were married, and only Ruth remained at [[home]] with [[Mother Mary|Mary]]. Later that year, [[Jesus]] called a [[family]] [[conference]] at which he proposed that his [[mother]] and Ruth go to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capernaum Capernaum] to live in the [[home]] which he had so recently given to his brother [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_the_Just James]. Shortly afterwards, [[Jesus]] left town with a caravan while [[Mother Mary|Mary]] and Ruth moved to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capernaum Capernaum], where they lived for the rest of [[Mother Mary|Mary]]’s life.

In the summer of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/26_AD 26 A.D.] when [[Jesus]] began his [[public]] [[ministry]], it occasioned the starting point of an ever-widening gulf between [[Jesus]] and his [[family]]. This situation continued throughout his public ministry — they very nearly [[rejected]] him — and these [[differences]] were not fully removed until after his [[death]] and [[resurrection]]. His [[mother]] constantly wavered between [[attitudes]] of fluctuating [[faith]] and [[hope]], and increasing [[emotions]] of [[disappointment]], [[humiliation]], and [[despair]]. It was only Ruth, the youngest, who remained unswervingly [[loyal]] to her [[father]]-[[brother]]. Indeed, Ruth was the only member of [[Jesus]]’ [[family]] who consistently and unwaveringly [[believed]] in the [[divinity]] of his [[earth]] [[mission]] from the times of her earliest spiritual [[consciousness]] right on down through his eventful ministry, [[death]], [[resurrection]], and [[ascension]]; and she finally passed on to [[Mansion Worlds|the worlds beyond]] never having [[doubted]] the [[supernatural]] [[character]] of her father-brother’s [[mission]] in the [[flesh]]. Baby Ruth was the chief [[comfort]] of [[Jesus]], as regards his [[earth]] [[family]], throughout the trying [[ordeal]] of his [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_185 trial], rejection, and [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_187 crucifixion].
