Day 23, Jan. 23: People of the Bible

My favorite Bible people
(other than Jesus, Mary and Joseph)
1. Paul (An unrepentent sinner and persecutor of the Church,
his amazing conversion proves as much as anyone
that God can save.)
2. Joseph (I get tears in my eyes every time I read
how he finally tells his brothers who he is.
A great example of showing forgiveness.)
3. John the Baptist (He baptized Jesus
and fulfilled his heavenly role.)
4. Moses (His life was one of huge ebbs and flows.
Ultimately, he was one of God's greatest leaders.)
5. Mary Magdalene (I can only imagine what went through
her heart as she changed from sinner
to perhaps Jesus' most devout follower.)
6. Peter (A man so determined to follow Christ, yet he was humbled
after denying Him three times.)
7. Job (His steadfast faith through unimaginable suffering serves
as a great example to us all.)
8. Abraham (Talk about faith! He was ready to sacrifice
his son Issac to God.)
9. Noah (Another man of great faith, he must have
struggled immensely in his heart and soul as he built the ark.)
10. Ruth (She serves as a great example of loyalty
and the Golden Rule, thinking of others first.)
