Esther 7 - 8
The King responds to Esther's pleas, Haman is destroyed, his property given to Esther and the Jews are saved. My only problem is how the new proclamation from the King now gives the Jews freedom to kill their enemies. That feels as bad as the Jews enemies killing them. Why is it that we just can't get along with people?
Sin is very powerful in our lives. Think in this story how many people die as the consequence of Haman's hatred of Mordecai. We can see incredible consequences of sin in the world; oil spills, war, fear, crime... The amazing thing is that God wants to forgive our sin and give us a chance to start anew.
