Glory Of Christ Fellowship Sermons

The book of Esther ends with the Jews feasting and celebrating on the holiday of Purim, there is no mention of God. Are we to conclude that Esther is the reason for the season? Much like Christ is forgotten at Christmas, it seems God was forgotten for how he saved the Jews. The writer doesn’t mean to exalt Esther in place of God but through the great reversal of fortunes, the writer leaves the reader to see that this salvation could only have been accomplished by God.
