VERSES:
1 PETER 3:15
but
in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a
defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do
it with gentleness and respect
‘I he hokohoko atu ‘a e
talanoa ‘i he tohi ‘a ‘Eseta, na‘e toe mālie makehe ‘e tau a‘u mai ki he fo‘i kovi ko ia
ko Hamaní; ko ha tangata ma‘olunga ‘i he pule’angá (taha ‘o e kau paipá ). Ko
Hamani ko e tupu mei he hako ‘o e kau Kenani ‘a ia na’a nau tau’i ‘a ‘Isileli
talu pe mei he’enau hu mai mei ‘Isipite ‘o a’u ki he taimi ‘o Kingi
Tevita. Pea ‘i he ‘ikai ke
faka’apa’apa’i ‘e Motekiai ‘a Hamani mo hono tu’unga ma’olunga, na’e
fakapapau’i ai pe ‘e Hamani te ne faka’auha kotoa ‘a e kau Siu mei he

Ka na’e fokotu’u ‘e he ‘Otua ‘a ‘Eseta ‘i he tu’unga ne hoko ki ai ke

The
plot of the Book of Esther thickens with the introduction of the villain, a man
named Haman who held a powerful position in the king's court. Haman descended from
a Canaanite tribe that consistently opposed Israel, from the exodus out of Egypt
to the reign of David. When Mordecai failed to show Haman the respect he desired,
he determined to eliminate all the Jews from the empire. Haman persuaded King
Ahasuerus that the Jews threatened the Persian Empire's national security. He obtained
a royal decree, setting aside a time for slaughtering the Jewish people. But
God had placed Esther in a situation in which she could make an astounding difference
so long as she trusted Him. Mordecai challenged Esther with the truth that God
had a specific purpose in placing her in her royal position. God will not fail
to keep His promises or fall short of His purposes. Therefore, the deliverance
of the Jews was certain. The only question was what Esther's role would be. God
had made her queen so that she could deliver His people through His provision.
Esther's account serves as a reminder that God places people where they can
serve Him.
