Who is your most favorite character in the bible?
and why?
My Favorite is Ruth.
In the midst of patriarchs, kings and apostles, you find this poor, widowed, immigrant woman. God told his people to take special care of people like her (Leviticus 19:9-10) but she was the one who ended up setting the example of how to serve and provide, so much so that there is a book named after her. Her life and her book are a breath of fresh air of sacrifice, humility and godliness, coming right after 21 of the worst chapters in Israel’s history in Judges. She is to be mimicked and praised, a woman with dirty hands and a clean heart.
Apostle Paul for me. His journey and his struggles remind me of my Christian life.
Joseph. His life and testimony have been an inspiration to me. His character shows that even in our earthly flesh, we can still forgive others who have hurt us. Joseph’s humility is also a trait that every Christian should emanate.
