Esther 4:16

Key Reflection

In the context of the Persian Empire, where Esther and Mordecai lived, communication between individuals was crucial for maintaining order and influence within the court. When Esther asked her servants to answer Mordecai, she was likely seeking advice or support in addressing a serious threat to the Jewish people, as revealed by Mordecai’s urgent message about Haman’s plot. This action underscores Esther's role as a leader and her need for counsel from those who understood the political landscape of Susa.
