Esther 10
Today's Scripture

I love a happy ending. Who doesn't? The book of Esther ends happily, with Mordecai, who had been the object of hatred by the king's right hand man, takes that man's position, together with Esther (with the leading of God) saves the Jews from annihilation. He is elevated to a great position of power, and the Jews received favor because of his status and concern for them.

There is One who spoke up on our behalf, too--2000 years ago. Jesus was willing to give up everything to become a man, die on the cross, and raise again so that we may be raised up to new life in him. Because of Jesus, we can have forgiveness of sins and become one with the Father. We are saved from destruction when we trust in him and dedicate our lives to him.

And, even when we die, there will be a happy ending, because we'll be at eternal rest with our Lord, and worship him forever with all the saints. Amen!
