I think I would want to have a conversation with Job. I was reading from the book of Job the other day as part of my daily devotions. To have all your worldly possessions taken away is bad enough, but to lose all your children and yet maintain your faith is amazing. I don’t put a great deal of emphasis on my “things”, but my children (even if they are adults now) are my world. To have that much faith seems unattainable. Good day and God Bless. Jessie

Thanks for sharing, Jessie. It would be fascinating to talk with Job and learn what his incredibly difficult experiences taught him about God, family and friends, and himself.

I would like to talk to Joseph, from the book of Genesis. Abandoned and left to die by his own brothers (out of envy), sold into slavery, unjustly thrown into prison by Potiphar and his wife, he ended up managing all of Egypt and Pharaoh’s affairs, AND God used him to deliver Israel from famine; then reconciled with his family……What an awesome man of faith who never turned from God!

I would like to have a conversation with Simon Peter because I think he is the disciple I can relate to best. So often when reading the Gospels, when it comes to the response of Peter, I end up thinking that given what I know of the circumstances, I would have probably done or had exactly the same reaction! However, the part of Peter’s story which I would like to talk to him about is his life after Jesus’ resurrection and when he was given the responsibility of taking the Gospel message to Jews and Gentiles. It would be interesting to know what he would think of 21st Century Christianity and its evolution over the centuries.

Good one, gillian! So many of us can relate to Peter and see reflections of his struggles in our own lives. Yes, it would be fascinating to discuss the spread of the early church with him and also his interactions with the apostle Paul and more!

Enoch has always fascinated me. Just thinking of the conversation he had with God so that they moved from one place and time to another, is a place I want to be with God.

Agreed, queenannie. I wonder what it meant for God to walk “in close fellowship with God” (Genesis 5:24). Must have been a very special relationship!
