If I had the opportunity to meet a historic figure, I would choose Abel and Joseph.
If you could meet a historical figure, who would it be and why?
Abel, because I would love to hear in his own words what stirred his heart toward offering God the firstlings and the fat portions. What inspired that depth of honour? What awakened that level of reverence in him, especially when worship had not yet been modelled or structured? I would ask him, “What propelled such a pure sacrifice?”
And then Joseph. I would ask him about the weight of the jealousy he experienced. “What exactly did you do, if anything that generated such deep hatred, envy, and betrayal from your own brothers?” His life teaches that sometimes favour alone is enough to provoke warfare.
And when the Lord lifted him, I would love to ask Joseph candidly, “Did Potiphar’s wife ever dare to come near you again? Did she ever try to apologize, explain, or hide?” Because elevation silences accusers in ways that explanations never can.
These are conversations that would reveal the depths of obedience, favour, integrity, and divine vindication.
