Have you ever ‘overheard’ a conversation which frightened or concerned you? How did you decide what you should do with the secret information you had discovered? Come with me again back to the city of Susa, the capital of the Persian kingdom, about 2400 years ago. We’re in a fascinating story about Mordecai and Esther, remember? Yesterday we witnessed the unbelievable, the unthinkable, the ultimate little girl’s dream… an unknown girl was chosen by the king to be his queen!! The record says: “So King Xerxes set a royal crown on her head and made Esther queen instead of Vashti. And the king gave a great banquet, Esther’s banquet, for all his nobles and officials. He proclaimed a holiday throughout the provinces and distributed gifts with royal liberality.” (Esther 2:17,18)
