Though things were going well for Esther and Mordecai, yet, Esther was not distracted from her calling. She still pleaded for the life of her people. Though the King reminded her of all he had already done, hanged Haman and given away his estate, he also reminded her that his decrees cannot be revoked. However, they were given the authority to issue a counter-decree allowing the Jews to defend themselves the day the first decree goes into effect. This resulted in joyous celebration for the Jews; and even many other nationalities became Jews, recognizing the greatness of the God of the Jewish People.
God has promised that He would deliver His People, and He did. Similarly, we, His People today, have been delivered from an irrevocable death sentence due to sin which was paid for by Christ who authored a new covenant. We should respond in joy and like the King's couriers, spread the news to all who are condemned that they can now be saved.
