God Is in Charge

by Alistair Begg

Esther 3:1–15
 (ID: 2965)

When wicked Haman was promoted by King Ahasuerus, no amount of honor or influence felt enough for him. So when Mordecai the Jew refused to bow to him, Haman hatched a plot to decimate the Jews in Persia. Yet the means devised for their destruction would soon become the means of their deliverance. Alistair Begg discusses living as faithful Christian citizens when authorities abuse their power and reminds us that the providences of God are seldom self-evident in the moment.
