Persuasion and Providence

Esther contains 10 of the most exciting chapters in the entire Bible!

 Introduces the Feast of Purim - an annual victory celebration.

Esther becomes queen by winning a beauty pageant with wisdom and winsomeness.

We are agents of providence like Esther.

No mention of God or prayer in this book.

God's providence permeates this book.
"You were raised up for such a time as this?"

 "If I perish, I perish."  is not "que sera sera".

All according to God's timing.

You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
