Here we are, the last episode of 2022 and a deep dive into one of the two women who have books of the Bible named after them: Esther.
For the previous episode, I talked about Amy Carroll and Lynn Cowell’s new Bible study Esther: Seeing Our Invisible God in an Uncertain World. So, I dove into the verse we all are likely familiar with, the moment of choice where Esther faces life or death: “For if you remain silent at this time, liberation and rescue will arise for the Jews from another place, and you and your father’s house will perish [since you did not help when you had the chance]. And who knows whether you have attained royalty for such a time as this [and for this very purpose]?” (Esther 4:14, Amplified Bible)
In this episode, I spent quite a bit of time looking at the history behind the story of Esther as well as where her story lies in the thread of Scripture. And then I turn our attention to what this tells us about God, and how that impacts what this verse says about us today.
