Esther does everything in her power to help her fellow Jews here, even though it is a great risk to herself. She embodies the command set forth in Scripture to place others first. Esther, then, is an example for all of us to follow, in that she put her own well-being at risk to help those who were in need. Our concerns are secondary. The needs of our neighbor supersede any that we might have ourselves. Jesus tells us 'the last shall be first, and the first shall be last.' Let us all strive to make that a reality by putting the concerns of others above our own. God bless you.
Pastor Josh
