The Book of ESTHER (Episode #79):
The story of ESTHER is a story of 'salvation'. Salvation for her people-- the Jews at a time when they faced total annihilation-- and for all the people in th world who are looking for a Savior, a Messiah named Jesus. The 'favor' of God was with her. The position she rose to was QUEEN OF PERSIA. Persia, at this time under King Xerxes, is the most powerful, literate and sophisticated culture in the World. How did a orphaned Jewish captive girl by the name of Esther end up as Queen of anything, let alone the greatest Empire on Earth. The answer, of course, is 'God'! This week we explore the absolutely riting story of courage, grace and God's plan for his People.
