Esther: Still Up-To-Date Today

INTRO: This year, when the sun sets on March 7th of our calendar, it will be the beginning of the 14th day of the Jewish Month Adar, and all over the world Jewish people will celebrate the feast of Purim. There will be much joy once more in many Jewish homes because of an event that happened almost 2500 years ago. And though this event happened so many years ago, the book of Esther is still very up-to-date today. (How many did their assignment to read this book?)

I trust that this message may give you a new insight into the book of Esther the next time you read through this book. I trust that not only will it hold new historical meaning for you, but it will help you understand the news today. And I hope it will give you an interest as to what is happening in the Middle East today, and that you will pray for these countries.
