Esther 1: 1-22; Queen Vashti Deposed

Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.

Of course, we never get a reason from Queen Vashti as to why she does not come when Xerxes summons her. We are left to assume then that Xerxes said or did something Queen Vashti did not like. With that in mind we can look at Queen Vashti in a fairly positive light. She stood up for what she believed in, even though she knew the consequences would be most severe. So it is with our faith. These days wearing your faith on your sleeve is a way to attract a little bit of trouble. Does that mean we stop doing it? No. It means we do it more boldly. We should stand up for our faith, we should continually share the good news of Jesus with those around us. No matter what. God bless you.
