—Esther 8:7-10
by: Katie Brown.
The message of the Gospel is a message of freedom for the persecuted and downtrodden. Mordecai was given the opportunity to decree that the Jews had a right to protect themselves from their enemies. This decree brought joy to God’s people who were previously fearing for their lives. We, as believers, are called to share the message of our King and how Jesus died on the cross for our salvation. We no longer have to live in fear because we know Jesus conquered death and defeated our enemy. Praise God that we have such a beautiful mission—to share this joy with the world.
