Esther Went Anyway
"And if I perish, I perish!"Esther 4:16
Reflection
Esther could die for entering uninvited. She went anyway, for her people. Big courage usually grows out of big love.
Prayer
Father, give me courage to defend whoever needs it. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- Why was it dangerous for Esther to see the king?
- Why did she go anyway?
- How can love give us courage?
5-minute activity
Make a paper crown and act out Esther walking into the throne room. The king holds out his scepter, a spoon or a stick. Talk about courage that comes from love. Read Esther 4:12-16 and 5:1-3.
