A Reckoning

Andrew Murch · Esther 7:1-8:17 is packed with movement and plot development. Some of the principles that we see revealed in this text include God’s divine sovereignty, human responsibility to obey God, God’s faithfulness to his people, and God’s undeniable control over all things in his work to deliver and reconcile his people. As Christians living thousands of years after this age, we recognize the real main character of this story. God in all his glory and sovereignty, although unnamed and not mentioned, faithfully works to redeem and deliver his people.
