Celebration Time
Haman had been dealt with, but his edict of destruction against the Jews still stood. Alistair Begg walks us through the climax of Esther’s story, which finds Esther pleading with the king for her peoples’ lives and seeking the impossible—the overturning of the edict. In response, the king issued a new edict that nullified the first, empowering the Jews to defend themselves. The lesson they learned continues to be true today: God is graciously able to do the impossible and turn our sorrow into joy!
