My Eyes to Golgotha
We’ve been reflecting on the book of Esther in the Bible. A decree was sent to carry out a genocide on the Jews, the people of Esther, the queen, albeit the king who was a party to it was unaware of the self damage he was about to inflict on himself. Esther got to know about this sentence of death and destruction on her ethnicity only when the nephew of her father made a one man protest in the front of the gate of the king. Esther on learning that the nephew of her late father was in sackcloth and ashes at the king’s gate sent to know the why and how.
