In Esther 9, the story seems to resolve with God’s people victorious over their enemies—but it also raises new questions. What do we do with a salvation that comes through violence? Why does the Old Testament contain so much of it? And how should we understand all of this in light of Jesus’ teaching, and even more, his death and resurrection? As we walk through Esther 9, we’ll also wrestle with these questions and consider what they mean for following Jesus today.
