What’s Going On?

by Alistair Begg

Esther 4:12–17
 (ID: 2972)

The Jews of Susa had a decree of death hanging over them—and Esther faced a dilemma. Her uncle Mordecai proposed that Esther risk her life by approaching the king, revealing her identity, and petitioning for the lives of the Jews. Alistair Begg reminds us that obeying God is of more value than preserving our own lives. Like Esther, Christians must submit ourselves to the hand of providence, serving God in the unique positions He has given us.
