Rev P B Fitzwater writer presents a Sunday School lesson from Moody Bible Institute Chicago. Copyright 1918 Western Newspaper Union. Lesson aims to guide teachers and students in biblical study and interpretation.
Lesson for August 13 centers on Esther saving the Jews from Haman’s plot. Mordecai’s mourning, Esther’s hesitation, and the risk of appearing before the king frame a tale of faith, courage, and sacrificial service in a dramatic biblical account drawn from Esther chapters 3 and 4 with references to Psalm 34 and Romans 6.
The passage analyzes Esther's peril and obligation under threat to the Jewish people. It notes her life at risk, God’s providence, and her preparation through fasting before entering the king’s presence. Esther acts bravely, risking all to avert catastrophe, leading to Haman's downfall and a revived decree for deliverance.
A statement notes that Jews everywhere were granted the privilege to defend themselves and destroy their enemies, counteracting an earlier measure. The passage reflects a shift enabling Jewish self defense amid escalating tensions.
