True Nobility

One of the great stories of the Bible is found in the book of Esther, a most unlikely Queen, not due to any lack of beauty or personality.  She was a most beautiful lady with great character and dignity. But she was a captive Jew living in Persia, which is present-day Iran.  Imagine a Jewish lady being chosen to be Queen in Iran today!!

God used Esther and her uncle Mordecai to save their people from annihilation at the hands of the vain and vindictive Haman.  The Feast of Purim which celebrates this victory is observed by Jewish people to this day. Esther was willing to put her life on the line in   order to petition the King for her people; as was Mordecai.  These selfless people are described by the words attributed to Mordecai – “second in rank to King Xerxes, pre-eminent among the Jews, and held in high esteem by his many fellow Jews, because he worked for the good of his people and spoke up for the welfare of all the Jews.”  Esther 10: 3

A most selfless Person has lobbied for your well-being; the man Jesus.  This is motivation for you to lobby for the welfare of your  people, first to God, and then to others in authority, whenever the need for justice is apparent.  Remember the words of Jesus, “seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness (justice) and all these things shall be added –“  Matthew 6: 33.  The kingdom of God (vs. Xerxes) and justice are high on His list.  Let us make these our priorities in life! – Pastor Glen
