In fact, my Hebrew name is the same as the Hebrew for Esther: Hadassah. As a Jewish believer myself, she is one of my favorite Biblical figures because of her love for her people and her faithfulness to her God. So let’s dive into this study of the Book of Esther in the Bible, the lessons we can learn from her and her character, and what she has to do with the Jewish festival of Purim.ġ4.1 What is the Festival of Purim? Lessons About Esther’s CharacterĮsther in the Bible is a woman of courage and faith. If you are a Christian, did you know that the Book of Esther in the Bible directly impacts the Jewish people today as a story of redemption? He can use all of us to fight our fears and bring glory to Him. I hope that by looking at her story you’ll see how God can use us, girls or women, for His purposes. Women like Esther and Ruth and Deborah have not only been valued but they have paved the way for our Messiah Jesus. I have also heard that people believe that women were not valued in the Bible and again, that is wrong.
The story of Esther in the Bible is one of God’s many examples that show us how wrong this is. That has only been afforded to Esther and Ruth.Īs women, even as young girls, we are often told that there are things we cannot do.
While there have been many influential women in scripture, such as Deborah or Jael, or Rahab, their stories are included IN the books of the Bible but they do not have a book dedicated to them. In this Esther Bible Study, we explore the amazing story of how God used one woman to impact the Jewish people and the lessons we can learn from her.Īs a woman, one of the reasons a study on Esther appealed to me is because the Book of Esther is one of the only two books in the Bible that are actually named for women.
