We first see this hero in the book of Genesis when we see some of his lineage: 28And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son:29 And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the Lord hath cursed.30 And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five...

Even people who generally don’t read the Bible know of the carpenter who was espoused to Mary when she became pregnant with Jesus. He was not a man of any real notoriety. He was not a rich man.

John the Baptist
John was the son of Zechariah and Elizabeth and the cousin of Jesus. He spent his life preparing the way for his cousin and Savior. The Bible says this about him: In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.4 And the same John had his rai...
Stephen
Considered to be the first martyr for Christianity, Stephen was stoned to death by order of Saul of Tarsus. Take a look at what the Bible says about him:
- Little Maid: We read about her in 2 Kings 5:2-4 as part of Naaman the leper’s story. We didn’t get a lot of detail about Little Maid but her faith stood as a testimony to Naaman and remains as a testimony for us.
- Josiah. Can you imagine the courage it must have taken for this eight-year-old boy to stand up to all the adults around him? When Josiah found out what God required of Israel, he repented and led the nation into a series of religious reforms.
- David. This leader of Israel is one of the main heroes in the Bible. David’s rise to fame began when he was just a lad after he killed Goliath the giant claiming the victory in the name of the God of Israel.
- Moses. This leader of Israel is one of the more familiar heroes in the Bible. The first five books of the Bible, as well as, a number of psalms were written by this man who spoke with God face to face (Exodus 33:11).
- Daniel. "So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions' den. The king said to Daniel, 'May your God, whom you continually serve, rescue you!'"
- David. "David said to the Philistine, 'You come against me with a sword, spear, and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord of Armies, the God of the ranks of Israel—you have defied him.'"
- Moses. "As for you, lift up your staff, stretch out your hand over the sea, and divide it so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground."
- Jesus. "But God proves his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8) What more noteworthy biblical hero is there than Jesus?
