Longing For A Savior: (Esther 7 — 8) The Great Reversal
Aug 6, 2023 • Josh Lott
Who doesn’t love a good reversal in story? Where things seem to be going from bad to worse… and then… BOOM! It all changes! The bad guy gets what he deserves and the good guys come out on top. It feels good! Well, unless you’re the bad guy. But that’s not the gospel. In fact, the gospel means that the guilty go free because their crimes have been paid for. The gospel means that the good guy actually willingly takes the place of the guilty party in order to pardon. The story of Esther is an amazing redemptive story that only sets the stage for what is to come. A great reversal where the greatest King acts in the greatest way.
