Bible
Lesson 31 "Esther Becomes Queen"
Scripture: Esther 1-2
Bible guide Pages: 110-112
We have come to a beautiful story in the history of God's people. It is the story of Esther. Esther was a Jewish girl who became queen in the kingdom of Media and Persia. As queen she was able to help her people when they were about to be destroyed. The wicked Haman requested permission from the king to kill all the Jews, but God had placed Esther as queen in the palace so that she could plead for her people. The scripture says, "But who knows that you have come to royal position for such a time as this." God's plan is perfect.
