    In a culture that often distorts or diminishes manhood, Esther 1 offers a powerful contrast between worldly masculinity and the servant-hearted leadership God calls men to embody. As we witness King Xerxes use his power for selfish gain, we'll explore what happens when leadership crumbles and identity is built on ego instead of character. Most importantly, we'll see how God's providence is at work—even through broken people—to prepare the way for redemption.

    If Esther 1 and 2 are the introduction to the main story of the book, then chapter 1:1-9 are the introduction to the introduction. As the curtain rises, or the opening credits fade, the director sets the scene. He tells us when and where his story will take place and gives us some most significant first impressions. As we begin this Sunday, we will look at six characteristics of the Empire in which these events are set.Esther 1:1-9 introduces the powerful Persian King Ahasuerus (also known as Xerxes I), who rules over a vast empire stretching from India to Ethiopia. The chapter opens with a lavish 180-day display of his wealth and glory, followed by a seven-day feast for all people in the capital city of Susa. The descriptions emphasize luxury, excess, and royal splendour—highlighting a culture obsessed with power and image. Meanwhile, Queen Vashti holds her own banquet for the women in the palace. Though God is not mentioned in this entire book, this opening sets the stage for the hidden yet sovereign work of God throughout the book, as the political and cultural drama begins to unfold.

Psalm 62:11-12 says, "Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God, and that to you, O LORD, belongs steadfast love." The key truths that God declares about Himself are His greatness and glory ("power belongs to God") and His goodness and grace ("to you, O LORD, belongs steadfast love").These characteristics of God help shape our character and keep us from believing the lies we feed ourselves daily.

The Pharisee, self-righteous and confident in his own moral achievements, thanks God that he is not like other people, especially the tax collector. He boasts of his fasting and tithing. Meanwhile, the tax collector, seen as sinful and socially despised, stands at a distance, humbly acknowledging his sin and begging God for mercy. Jesus concludes that it is the tax collector, not the Pharisee, who goes home justified before God.The parable reveals that God values humility and genuine repentance over self-righteousness, emphasizing that those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.

A biblical talent weighed about 75 pounds and was used in the Bible as a value for money—either a talent of silver or a talent of gold.In this parable, Jesus is teaching us about how we should manage well what He has entrusted to us while He is away. But it has more to do with the ETERNAL than the PRACTICAL.
