MEMORY
VERSES:
Deuteronomy 29:29
The
secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things that are revealed
belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this
law.
Na’e fakae’a ‘e ‘Eseta ‘a e fa’ufa’u ‘a Hamani
fekau’aki mo e kakai Siu pea iku ai ‘o
tu’utu’uni ‘e ‘Ehasivelo ke tamate’i ia.
Ka na’e kei hoko pe ko e lao ‘a e tu’utu’uni fekau’aki pea mo e kakai Siu. Ko e lao ‘a Pesia, na’e ‘ikai ngofua ke
fakafoki pe fakata’e’aonga’i ‘a e tohi na’e fakahoko. Ko ia ai na’e toe fai ‘e he Tu’i ha tohi
fo’ou ke fakangofua ‘a e kakai Siu ke nau malu’i mo taukapo’i kinautolu ‘o
ka ’ohofi kinautolu ‘e he kakai Pesia. Na’e ikuna ‘a e kakai Siu ‘i he fepaki ko
‘eni pea na’e he hili ia, na’e tu’utu’uni
‘e Motekiai ha katoanga ke faka’ilonga’i ‘a e ikuna, pea ko hono fokotu’u eni

Koe’uhi ko e talangofua ‘a ‘Eseta pea mo e fai tonunga ‘a Motekiai, na’e

‘a e ‘Otua ‘i he me’a kotoa na’e fakahoko.
Neongo ‘oku ‘ikai ha ‘a e Huafa ‘o e ‘Otua ‘i he tohi ‘o ‘Eseta, ka ‘oku

tauhi kiate Ia ‘i he talangofua kakato mo e ‘apasia.
Esther
exposed Haman's plot which led Ahasuerus to have him executed. But the edict to
kill the Jews remained in effect. Under Persian law, Ahasuerus could not revoke
it. Instead, the king issued a second edict authorizing Jews to arm and defend
themselves, unleashing two days of violence as the two sides fought openly. The
Jews overcame their opposition, and afterward, Mordecai ordered a celebration
of these victories, which led to the establishment of the annual Festival of
Purim. Because of the faithfulness of Esther and Mordecai, the Jewish people were
protected, and God received the glory for everything He had done. Although the
name of God is never explicitly mentioned in Esther, the book emphasizes the providence
of God, the power of prayer and fasting, and the persuasive potential of courageous
men and women of faith. God used Mordecai and Esther in a mighty way to
preserve His covenant people-and with them, His ultimate plan of deliverance that
would come nearly five centuries later in Jesus Christ. As their story reminds us,
God receives glory when His people live in faithful obedience to Him.
