Biblical Basis • Esther 4:1-17
Esther had been chosen to become queen in Persia, but no one new her identity as a Jew. When her uncle Mordecai informed her of a plot to kill all the Jews, Esther was faced with a choice. Would she obey the law, or would she take the risk to speak to the king in an effort to save her people?
