[Ohio-Communities-of-Faith] A Call to Courage by Max Lucado

[Maggie Stringer]

When Mordecai learned that the Persian king had issued a decree to kill the
Jews, he urged Esther to reach out to the king. Esther reminded Mordecai
that if she went in to the throne room uninvited, the king could have her
head. Mordecai responded with the greatest one paragraph call to courage
ever spoken by a human tongue. He said “Do not think that because you are
in the king’s house you alone of all the Jews will escape. For if you are
silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from
another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows
but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?”
(Esther 4:13–14). Mordecai knew this: relief will come. What he said to
Esther, God says to you: you were made for this moment.
