Just Who Are We?
June
20, 2013 – Esther 8
Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully
Feast in Esther 8; After Haman was hanged God moved King Ahasuerus to
promote Mordecai. God blesses Esther and
in doing so saved the Jews. Mordecai is
given the kings seal. Throughout the world
the Jews God’s chosen people are blessed. “16 The
Jews had light and gladness and joy and honor. 17 And in every province and
in every city, wherever the king's command and his edict reached, there was
gladness and joy among the Jews, a feast and a holiday. And many from the
peoples of the country declared themselves Jews, for fear of the Jews had
fallen on them.”
Esther 8:16-18 English Standard
Version (ESV). Saints we are like Mordecai
and Esther and all of God’s people here in the book of Esther. Just the fact
that we belong to Jesus means we shouldn’t despair no matter our
circumstances. “For what does it profit a man to
gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?” Mark 8:36 ESV. We
have been redeemed by Jesus and when we were saved we were sealed by the Holy
Spirit. God’s hand is on us now and for
eternity we are God’s people. Once more
we are the Church!
Jesus is calling! Do you hear that small
voice calling; sinner com home? Do you
want to choose good over evil? If the answer is yes please click the

“35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question
to test him. 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And
he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and
with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first
commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as
yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.””
Matthew 22:35-41 ESV.

Where Did We Get That Idea?

Where Did We Get That Idea?
June
19, 2013 – Esther 7
Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully
Feast in Esther 7; Esther asks the king to spare her life and those
of her family. God gives Esther favor
and in the king’s eye and Haman is condemned. Haman hanged on the gallows which
he had built for Mordecai; “9 Then Harbona, one of
the eunuchs in attendance on the king, said, “Moreover, the gallows that
Haman has prepared for Mordecai, whose word saved the king, is standing at
Haman's house, fifty cubits high.” 10 And the king said, “Hang him on that.”
So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then
the wrath of the king abated.” Esther 7:9-10
English Standard Version (ESV). Here
we read of a man’s treachery in his heart as it is turned on himself by our
Lord God. If we who are granted God’s mercy listen to and learn from Jesus’ words
and take them to heart will never be guilty of sinning like Haman. God’s mercy
is summed up in a law of love and forgiveness. “35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question
to test him. 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And
he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and
with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first
commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as
yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.””
Matthew 22:35-41 ESV. God’s
Word tells us everything we need to know to live a sin free life. Turn to God in the name of Jesus whenever you
have a need or a question.

“1Brothers, if anyone is caught in any
transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of
gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. 2 Bear one
another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. 3 For if anyone thinks
he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.”
Galatians 6:1-3 ESV.

Aren’t I The Best?

Aren’t I The Best?
June 18, 2013 – Esther 6
Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully
Feast in Esther 6; The Lord God gives King Ahasuerus insomnia so he
reads about Mordecai’s prior service. The king is impressed and decides to
reward Mordecai. Haman (being a legend in his own mind) believes
the king wants to honor himself not Mordecai. Haman plots against Mordecai as his friends
tell him how to plan Mordecai’s death; “13 Yet
all this is worth nothing to me, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at
the king's gate.” 14 Then his wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him,
“Let a gallows fifty cubits high be made, and in the morning tell the king to
have Mordecai hanged upon it. Then go joyfully with the king to the feast.”
This idea pleased Haman, and he had the gallows made.” Esther 6:13-14 English Standard Version (ESV). I think the lesson we get hear would be two
fold;
1.
Is not to count ourselves as more valuable than
another person
2.
Talking and plotting against anyone behind their
back never turns out good
God left us specific
instructions of how to approach those who are caught in transgressions. “1Brothers, if anyone is caught
in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of
gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. 2 Bear one
another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. 3 For if anyone thinks
he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.”
Galatians 6:1-3 ESV. In
the third verse we are told not to think we are legends in our own mind. Tomorrow we will see what happens to Haman,
for backbiting and boasting.

“Sing to God, sing praises to his name; lift up a
song to him who rides through the deserts; his name is the Lord; exult before
him! Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in his holy
habitation.” Psalm 68:4-5 ESV
