Esther 2

Esther is where we will be spending the next several weeks, taking a look at the book of the Bible that never mentions God. We hope to have a lot of fun being challenged to understand this book, as it is strictly a narrative. Scripture usually gives us an insight into the heart of God, instruction for the heart of man, some history, prophecy, or poetry. Esther is just the story of a Jewish girl who finds herself in Susa, a long way from Jerusalem, the capitol of the pagan Persian Empire. We will see how God, even though He is not mentioned, has his fingerprints all over the book of Esther. Steering away from looking for “good” guys and “bad” guys, we hope to see this story through the lens of Jesus and how good He is.
