TREASURES FROM GOD’S WORD | ESTHER 6-10

Esther Acted Unselfishly for Jehovah and for His People

Esther was brave and selfless in defending Jehovah and his people

Esther and Mordecai were safe. But Haman’s decree to kill all the Jews was making its way to every corner of the empire
Esther risked her life again, appearing uninvited before the king. She wept for her people and asked the king to revoke the terrible edict

Jehovah gave his people a great victory

8:10-14, 17

Riders sped to every part of the empire, and the Jews prepared for battle

Esther watches as Mordecai dictates a new law to a secretary
