I. We are saved with authority. 1-2
King Ahasuerus gave Esther and Mordecai authority in his kingdom.
- What a complete change of circumstances this was
Esther became the “savior” of her people.
- Now she had power. REAL earthly power to make a difference.
What happened with Esther in Esther 8 was a foreshadowing of things to come…
- When Jesus came everything changed. Salvation had come because God was in control.
Remember what Jesus said in the time between his resurrection and the ascension.
