1 Chronicles 3:1-4:23; Ezekiel 5:1-6:14; John 1:1-18
For if thou…holdest thy peace at this time, then shall…deliverance arise to the Jews from another place…And who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this? Esther 4:14
The Jews were under the sentence of death and Esther was chosen to intervene on their behalf. This world is under the sentence of eternal death (Rom. 6:23), and God has given you and me the incredible privilege of being “workers together with him” (2 Cor. 6:1), to take the Gospel of eternal life in Christ to them. If we fail to do this, He will send someone else, for His work must and will be done. —David Croudace
Jesus shall reign where’er the sun,
Does its successive journeys run,
His Kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
Till moons shall wax and wane no more. —Isaac Watts
