The Subtleties of Love & Terror, Esther 5

Series: For Such a Time as This- A Series in the Book of Esther Topic: 1 Passage: Esther 5:1–5:14

The tension in the book of Esther is increased as Esther puts off asking the king the request to save her people, and as Haman constructs a gallows on which to hang Mordecai.  We can learn a lot about our own idolatry as we reflect on this passage.
