Esther 10 - From obscurity to prominence

The Book of Esther concludes by highlighting Mordecai’s greatness and the deep relief he brought to the Jewish people. Under his administration, non-Jewish peoples were compelled to contribute more to the empire’s economy, thereby significantly easing the burden on the Jews. Mordecai continued in his position as chief minister in the government of Ahasuerus for many years, and under his leadership, the Jews had security and contentment.

The importance of strong leadership in bringing relief and security to a community. The Book of Esther illustrates that wisdom, insight, discernment, patience, and resilience are elements of effective governance that can impact the well-being and prosperity of a people.
