The Bible venerates several great figures among the Gentiles: Abel the just, the king-priest Melchisedek - a figure of Christ - and the upright "Noah, Daniel, and Job". Scripture thus expresses the heights of sanctity that can be reached by those who live according to the covenant of Noah, waiting for Christ to "gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroadSharing our story - who is your favourite character
The Bible is the story of God's people. We have lots to learn about God and his love for his people by reading stories about the characters from the Bible. We hear of the patience of Job, the wisdom of Solomon, the songs of David and about the generosity of Abraham our Father of Faith. But there are so many others: why not share with your family who is your favourite character in the Bible? Many of us hear about the characters in the Bible as a child ... or have a children's Bible with images which we remember fondly. There are also many characters captured in art.
The video above shows many characters, some are easier to spot with others - by turning the volume down you can take it in turns to guess who the characters. Remember that during this coming week which is Half Term the Cathedral Parish Blog will have videos, colouring and songs linked to the Bible - related activities.
