Esther's faith resulted in the Jews having what the Bible calls 'a good day', good in the eyes of God and very good for Esther, Mordecai and the Jews. This is the feast of Purim.
Did you know that when you tell people to have 'a good day' that you are quoting the King James Bible from the book of Esther? The NIV changes it to 'celebrating', and the ESV changes it to 'a holiday', thus obscuring the words of the Lord telling us how to have a good day. Esther's 'good day' was an amazing day of joy, feasting, and most of all, deliverance from their enemies. That good day was only possible because Esther was willing to trust the Lord and lay her life on the line in faith.
"The Jews had light and gladness and joy and honor. And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a good day. And many of the people of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews fell upon them." Esther 8:16,17 (KJB)
The wicked Haman, a type of Antichrist in the Bible, wanted nothing more than to kill Mordecai and wipe out the Jews, and was willing to go to any lengths to do it. Mordecai came to his niece, Esther, and told her of the plot, and that she was going to have to be the one to do something about it. Mordecai tells her that she has come to the kingdom for 'such a time as this', words that have inspired a thousand sermons. But in the day those words were spoken, it could just as easily have been a death sentence for Esther. Her faith resulted in the Jews having what the Bible calls 'a good day', good in the eyes of God and very good for Esther, Mordecai and the Jews. This was also the start of the feast of Purim. I would like to bring you a message today on how you can have a good day according to what the Bible calls good.
