Esther’s Gospel: The God Who Is There

What are we to do with this little episode tucked away in the Old Testament? How are we to think about a book in the Bible that never mentions God? Is it anything more than a good moral story for the children’s ministry? Is it a romance, a Cinderella story of sorts?What if, instead, Esther is pointing to the startling reality of God’s sovereign rule and reign then and now? Could it be that Esther has a lot to say about our lives today? Is it possible that, though unnamed, God was there all along? Peer into the pages of Esther, and behold the God Who Is There!
