Esther 4:1-17

What are you willing to do for those you love? What are you willing to do for those you do not know? What would you be willing to do when your entire race is faced with destruction? This is what Queen Esther faced with the potential Jews being wiped out. She had to face to the king and the potential of death for seeing him without an invitation. In the face of death, Esther had courage. Courage to save her people. So, too with Jesus. He stepped up to save His people, and in order to do so, He did perish.
