Esther 4 [The Message]

This is one of the most memorable and significant action phrases in the whole Bible. Mordecai challenged Esther to wake up and realize that the favor which had been shown to her could be used for the good of an entire people group. She had the star-power to impact King Xerxes’s decision to allow all the Jews to be murdered ie. the first Holocaust.

The favor we have been shown by God is to be enjoyed for certain. It can also be used to impact the culture around us. Do we agree with the ungodly legislation being passed that will provide legal permission to persecute Christians? The recently passed “Respect for Marriage Act” could actually open the door for persecution against the religious freedom to object to immoral marriage relationship. https://youtu.be/yDaECVmd2gk

We are to be salt and light to the world around us.
