The Book of Esther

King Ahasuerus, at the suggestion of his advisors, holds a beauty pageant to select a new queen. Esther, a beautiful young Hebrew woman, is among those brought in for this contest. This lesson shows how the providence of God raises Esther up to become the new queen of Persia.

Scripture References: Esther 2:1-23

From Series: "The Book of Esther"

The book of Esther is a record of God's providential protection of the Jews who chose to remain in captivity rather than return to own land. This book is one of only two books of the Bible named after women. Esther, a young Hebrew woman, rises to become queen in Medo-Persia. In this position she is given the opportunity to save her people from the plot of a wicked enemy named Haman. Though reluctant at first to step forward, she is reminded by Mordecai, the older cousin who raised her, that God put her in this position "for such a time as this."
