God Behind the Scenes | Esther 1-2

The story of Esther takes place in the capital of the Persian Empire where many Jews lived under Persian rule. And Esther is an unique book of the Bible in that God is not explicitly mentioned anywhere. Yet all throughout, you see God's sovereign hands throughout the narrative that reinforces his commitment to faithfulness and redemption. So in the midst of a society under foreign pagan rule, God uses his people to bring about his grand purposes. And we worship and serve the same God today who is committed to bring about his grand purposes even in our own contexts.
