Esther 3: A personal conflict between Haman and Mordecai expands into a battle of nations, as the kingdom of Xerxes tries to destroy all Mordecai's people (The Jews).

Esther 4: And if I perish, I perish.” Esther was in fact willing and ready to sacrifice her life to save the Israelite people. She was willing to take the risky step to approach the king in the inner court without being summoned. she could be put to death unless the king extends the gold scepter to Esther and spares her lives.

Esther 5: Still Haman did not know the relationship between Mordecai and Esther as it seems. However, I wonder why Mordecai showed no respect for Haman. He could have gestured and said hi at least....

Esther 6: We can see how God remembered Mordecai for his correct actions taken and helps him to get honored by King Xerxes. Thankfully, King Xerxes remembered how Mordecai exposed the conspiracy set up against him when two of his officers tried to assassinate him.

Esther 7: It was definitely quite helpful that King Xerxes loved Queen Esther enough to grant her petition. Of course, we can ultimately see God's interaction and guidance in the lives of Esther and Mordecai who really wanted to saves the lives of the people.
