The Couriers (8:14-16) sent by Mordecai did a marvelous job reaching with the GOODNEWS before the execution of Jews took place. Two things I learned from these amazing COURIERS.
1. OBEDIENCE:
They obeyed the king's command. They had no choice. But they counted it a
privilege to be at King's Service. Notice the words in Verse 14 'urged/inspired
by the king's command' They wasted no time since they realized the urgency.
Their obedience saved many lives.
God's Couriers: We are couriers for the Lord. The King of
Kings has given us the GREAT COMMISSION (Matt 28:18-20). It is a privilege to be
at KING's service, God's Command is God's Will and God's will is God's Command,
we have no choice and it is also urgent. Partial obedience is disobedience.
2. FAITHFUL :
They were faithful till the end. Had they reached late the execution could take
place. It is not just obedience, but there has to be faithfulness in that
obedience. One might obey in doing things for the Lord, but the Lord sees
faithfulness in it. Eg. One can be obedient in coming to Church Sunday after
Sunday, but God also sees how faithful are we in living a life that glorifies
His Name in our day to day life.
The Couriers in Esther had to work as a team. The first
received the Edict and the last one delivered it. But in between there were
many and all of them were faithful in doing their part to fulfil the whole plan
of saving the Jews from the jaws of death.
India needs the Gospel. Be an OBEDIENT and
FAITHFUL Courier. If each one of us do our part many will hear
the GOOD NEWS and be saved from the jaws of eternal damnation.
