Esther 5-7 [The Message]

The finest script writers in Tinseltown could not write a more dramatic and climactic text than that of the story of Esther. A king, a good guy, a bad guy, and a beautiful woman… all the characters are there. Haman was hanged on the gallows that he built to prove that bad guys DON’T WIN.

Noteworthy is the way there was strategic planning on Esther’s part to fully communicate her dilemma. She played it up to the climactic moment that she revealed her grave concern to the king, that Haman wanted to exterminate her and all Jews.

In sharing the Gospel, it would be wise to plan creative and convincing ways to share God’s plan of redemption to the lost. Instead of clobbering sinners with what’s awaiting them in Gehenna Hell, we can take time to fast and pray for them and script a message that’s more appealing.

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. [James 3:17]
