Narrative Lectionary Key Verse for Today

The Letter to Hebrews is chock full of great one-liners and memorable verses.
What makes today’s daily devotion for the Narrative Lectionary especially memorable is that many of us know people who were a special inspiration for us in the past. Even today, you may know someone who, when you think of them or look at them, you state, “Thank you, God, for this person.”
In my first parish in North Dakota, now almost 20 years ago, there were several people I can think of, who were simply the “salt of the earth” types.
One was an elderly gal named Sharon. She was a simple person living in small-town America. But she lived her faith simply. Never did I fail to see Sharon at ANYONE’S funeral at our church—even when she had no direct connection to the person.
Examples of Jesus are everywhere. We need only look.
Who is an example of Jesus for YOU in your life today?
