Mordecai told the messenger to reply to Esther, ‘Don’t think that you will escape the fate of all the Jews because you are in the king’s palace.
because he came close to death for the work of Christ, risking his life to make up what was lacking in your ministry to me.
The one who loves his life will lose it, and the one who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
For consider him who endured such hostility from sinners against himself, so that you won’t grow weary and give up.
Esther’s response was reported to Mordecai.
If you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will come to the Jewish people from another place, but you and your father’s family will be destroyed. Who knows, perhaps you have come to your royal position for such a time as this.’
