"We Are Victorious" from Esther 9:1-32 and Esther 10:1-3

Why was Haman - angry with Mordecai?

1 Samuel 15:18 And he sent you on a mission, saying, ‘Go and completely destroy those wicked people, the Amalekites; wage war against them until you have wiped them out.’

Obedience is better than sacrifice. We can see this on verse 1-5, And, victory with a help of a King. We as humans are victorious by the help of God. Haman made the law that "Jews should be killed". And on another chapter, they made 2 laws. The enemy of the Jews to carried out like a Civilian War.

Romans 8:33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.

What situation in the Bible that has twist? It was about Joseph and Paul story. If we love the worldly things much more than God then you are His enemy. Haman means self righteous.

Galatians 5:19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 2 Peter 1:5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;

The standard of God to us is we need to be pure.

1 John 5:4 for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

We can see that the Jews celebrate their victory towards their enemy. They write the days of their victory. Just like to us, we are destined to die, but Jesus rescued us. Now it represents our communion, we celebrate and let us be reminded what Jesus did. We can see on this chapter that Mordecai help the Jews especially the poor ones.

Philippians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
