The votes are in!
Last week, I asked readers to let me know what Biblical figures - other than Jesus or Mary - they would most like to be. The answers I received at this site, at its "mirror site" on St. Blogs Paris, and via email were all over the map, with no clear winner. But here they are... the folks we most want to emulate:
- David, who was a man after God’s own heart…
- Isaiah, who preached to people who don’t want to listen...
- John the Apostle, who “got it completely”, yet remained humble…
- Mary Magdelene, who loved Jesus much and was forgiven much…
Mary, the sister of Martha and Lazarus, who sat with Jesus, simply listening and learning… - Nehemiah, “an ordinary dude with no special talents who had something great in his heart for God’s people”…
- Paul, for pressing on, remaining content in every circumstance, and recognizing that “to live is Christ, and to die is gain”…
- Peter, who was a bit of a goof, always messing up and saying the wrong thing but yet was able to proclaim God’s word and lead the infant church….
- Ruth, because of her love, obedience, and support for her mother-in-law, for which God blessed her…
- Solomon, who asked for wisdom…
- St. John the Beloved, because of his teachings on love…
