Esther: God’s Sovereignty & Human Responsibility
March 5 – May 10
Taught by: Stephen Bell

Hillel the Elder, the 1st century BC rabbi who significantly contributed to the formation of the Jewish Mishnah and Talmud, famously remarked that “whosoever saves a life, it is as though he had saved the entire world.” Although the name of God never appears in the Book of Esther, His saving presence is powerfully at work through the actions of his servants, Esther and Mordecai, who respond to God’s call and are used by Him “for such a time as this” to rescue His people from destruction. In so doing, they powerfully prefigure Christ’s unwavering obedience to God’s will and costly deliverance of His people.
