The Book of Esther: The Invisible Providence of God #10 - A Feast of Joy and Gladness Around the Body of a Lamb

Purim turned the Jews’ threatened destruction into feasting, gifts, and care for the poor. Yet Persia’s restored taxes show that their relief was temporary and the unchanged king still burdened his subjects. True rest needed a king who could release slaves from sin and speak lasting peace. At the Lord’s Supper, joy remembers the sorrow that came first: Jesus bore punishment, rose victorious, and secured eternal deliverance while His people await His returning reign.
