Mordecai Was Great

by Alistair Begg

Esther 10:1–3
 (ID: 2988)

Like Lincoln or Churchill, Mordecai was a key individual in Jewish history. As Alistair Begg explains, he played a crucial role in the Jews’ deliverance from the prospect of annihilation, foreshadowing the greater deliverance to come in Christ. Deliverance in Mordecai’s time was partial and temporary; deliverance through Jesus is complete and eternal. Mordecai was the man of the moment; Jesus is King of the ages. Mordecai was used by God; Jesus is God Himself, come into history to deliver us forever.
