And just as we remember Esthernd Mordecai not so much for who they were, but rather for how theyAgave themselves to serve their people, so we should seek to be servantsof our Lord and of His church. - P126
But the most important quality of Mordecai, and theone the writer emphasizes, is that Mordecai‘s status is both a result of
and an opportunity for working toward the welfare of his people andspeaking up for their peace. - P126
We are to work to build up oneanother as members ofHis body and we are to speak up on behalf of our Lord and of all His
people, in every culture and every nation. - P126
Esther and Mordecai remind us that true greatness is not found in ourposition or power. Rather, it is found in our willingness to risk ourlives, comforts, and futures for the good of others in our churches,
communities, and world. - P127
