A little different path on this week’s Faith in the Road. We are in Branson, Missouri. We went to see ‘Esther’ at Sight and Sound Theatre. If you haven’t experienced a show at Sight and Sound Theatre, you’re missing a great, faith filled event. Their shows are immersive, musicals depicted books and people of the Bible. We saw ‘Jesus’ several years ago in Lancaster at the invitation of our friends, Walt and Jean.
‘Esther’ did not disappoint. This is the story of Queen Esther, telling a story of the deliverance of the Jewish people. We are shown a Persian emperor, Xerxes, who makes momentous decisions for trivial reasons, and his wicked minister, Haman, who takes advantage of the king’s compliance to pursue a personal vendetta against the Jews by having a royal decree issued ordering their destruction. The threat is averted by two Jews, Esther and Mordecai. Their influence and intervention allow the Jews to turn the tables on their enemies and rout their attackers.
It is a story of trust and surrender to God.
Coming next year…
