I guess, maybe... Jeremiah? I don't know why, excatly. As for a woman, perhaps Hannah, Samuel's mom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was real. He desired that Jesus show Himself to him. Imagine how heartbroken he was that he was the only one who was absent. He was with Jesus the whole time that the other ten were. He expressed his desire to die with Jesus. He was singled out by Jesus to be absent so that we who have not seen would be blessed. And when Jesus did appear to him, Thomas confessed Him as his Lord and his God. The woman who had been forgiven much at the house of Simon who wiped her tears from the feet of Jesus is also my favorite. She didn't ask for anything. She simply acknowledged what had been done for her and could not express her gratitude in any other way than to pour out her greatest possession on Him and weep at His feet.

Maybe Noah would be the male favorite because he saw nothing happening to create a flood but trusted God that a flood was coming anyway. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I have found the most personal encouragement from Peter's life. A passionate man who had a serious case of a big mouth and a size 12 boot he kept sticking in it. But it was Peter who believed God enough to get out of the boat, and to whom Jesus saw fit to give the keys. I see in Peter and what he became as hope for me too. Ruth is my current favorite, the foreigner who becomes the bride. On the threshing floor she makes her desire for the King known and He responds by doing everything required to make her His own. Many of us are on or being drawn to His threshing floor even now....... recently I've been very moved by Benaiah.....but that's three....hard to choose 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His gospels where the ones that ministered the most t when i first began reading the Holy Bible and even today they remain my favorite. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as a woman, I loved reading about Naomi and how she encouraged Ruth to make herself known to Boaz. They ended up being grandparents to David. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm considering changing my picks to Mary and Joseph, as I try to imagine and understand? Imagine and try to comprehend this; Jesus, the Son of God lived a perfect and sinless life, Mary and Joseph knowing first hand Jesus being the Son of God. Jesus had half brothers and half sisters (sinners); I've never heard of a family that didn't have at least some sort of sibling rivalry. By all appearances, it looks like a normal family of the time and standard Jewish upbringings, a normal household of the time? At what point did Mary and Joseph tell their other children that Jesus is the Son of God, or did they? That Joseph was not Jesus' biological father, but the Holy Spirit was. As far as I know (as it's not recorded), they kept that blessed secret to themselves and didn't announce it? When Mary and Joseph's other children were growing up and sinned, got corrected for it, and Jesus never sinned nor got corrected for anything, how do you suppose those other children growing up viewed Jesus? This would have to be the most complex parenting skills in the history of humanity? Your thoughts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like leah because I love how God noticed her when she thought she wasn't noticed or loved. Guys- Daniel, I love how faithful and brave he was. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
