One Comment
I’ve always loved this story. These people are just normal people like us, living in a different culture, but with the same feelings and emotions that we have today. And we have the same opportunities to live out our faith and convictions as they did.
Not sure whether this story or the story of Esther and Mordecai is my all time favorite example of living out their faith.
