Pastor Ryan concludes our short series on Esther with an impassioned discourse on Chapters 9 and 10. Sorrow, as the Jews knew of their fate at the hands of their enemies, who hated them so much. Joy, as God's providence once again is revealed, through Mordecai's edict for Israel to defend itself, and out of this comes the only festival created as exiles, Purim. We too are exiles, and experience sorrow in our failing world, but inexplicable joy with our Lord Jesus, who also will bring us home one day, as God led Israel back to Jerusalem.
