But when Queen Esther intervened with the king, he gave written orders that the evil scheme that Haman had worked out should boomerang back on his own head. He and his sons were hanged on the gallows.(9:25)
What great comfort in knowing, without doubt, our Savior has/is/does intervene with The King on our behalf. What great comfort in knowing our Savior's blood has covered us with grace, mercy, forgiveness, cancelling out death for our sins. What great comfort knowing He shields us from the catastrophic destruction our sin would cause, blocking the "boomerang". What great comfort knowing He is there as we endure the consequences of our choices, taking the brunt of it all for us. What great comfort in knowing He has our backs.
What great comfort in knowing we are redeemed. In Him we are made new. Our sins are forgiven and forgotten.
What great comfort in knowing He has made us a new person - His.
