The Book of Esther: The Invisible Providence of God #8 - When a Bad Tale Turns Good

Esther falls at the king’s feet because Haman’s death has not removed the threat against her people. Her persistence gains Mordecai authority to issue a new edict allowing the Jews to defend themselves, and mourning turns into joy. Yet the Jews celebrate before their coming battle is won. Christ’s death and resurrection establish the same pattern on a greater scale. Final freedom from sin, death and sorrow is certain, so God’s people can keep praying and begin rejoicing now.
