Holy Desperation | Carter Conlon | 9/14/21

If those who plotted to kill all the Jewish people during the book of Esther had been successful, then we can conclude that the temple wouldn't have been rebuilt. Jewish history would have been different. It would have affected all of history. We give Esther the marquee in the whole story because she was the queen, she prayed, she fasted, and she petitioned the king. However, another hero in the story is her uncle Mordecai. He was a man who began to intercede, and it proves to us once again that the holy desperation of one person can change both the future and change history. We must ask God for a holy desperation in our generation.
