ESTHER - 4
Chapter 4
Grace and Responsibility
Esther 4:13-14
And Mordecai told them to answer Esther:
"Do not think in your heart
that you will escape in the king's palace
that you will escape in the king's palace
any more than all the other Jews.
"For if you remain completely silent at this time,
relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews
from another place,
from another place,
but you and your father's house will perish.
Yet who knows
whether you have come to the kingdom
for such a time as this?"
whether you have come to the kingdom
for such a time as this?"
Vashti refused to come to the king
when she was called.
when she was called.
Esther was willing to come to the king
even when she was not called.
even when she was not called.
Why?
Unlike Vashti,
Esther valued the favor she had found
in the eyes of the king
Esther valued the favor she had found
in the eyes of the king
And took responsibility
to use that favored position
to save the lives of her people.
to use that favored position
to save the lives of her people.
Do you value GOD’S favor
that is extended to you through the LORD JESUS?
that is extended to you through the LORD JESUS?
Do you walk in obedience
to continue in that favor?
to continue in that favor?
Do you extend that favor to others?
