Esther - Lesson 3 - Deep and Wide: Hatred and Bitterness Toward God - Midweek Prayer Meeting

We have noticed the last few weeks that the book of Esther presents the people involved in its story in an almost neutral way so far. The book is less about them and more about God’s salvation of His people. But salvation from what? Esther 3 reveals that in this case it was salvation from a sentence of death fueled by hatred of them and ultimately hatred of Him. The burden of Esther 3 presses home that there is in the world an underlying hatred for God that often expresses itself toward His people. There have been dark hints of this in chapter 2 (vs. 10, 20).

Scripture References: 1 Samuel 15:1-35, John 15:18-27, Esther 3:1-15, Psalms 2:1-12, 1 John 3:12, Revelation 13:1-18, 1 Chronicles 4:42-43, 1 John 3:11-15, Deuteronomy 25:1-19, Acts 4:23-28, Exodus 17:8-16, John 16:1-4
