Summary

Esther 10:1–3 – Mordecai’s Greatness and the Good of His People

What happens: Ahasuerus imposes tribute, and his acts are recorded. Mordecai is second to the king, great among the Jews, and seeks the welfare of his people, speaking peace to all.

What it means: God places His servants in high places for service, not self-glory. True greatness blesses others and promotes peace. The story closes with God’s people preserved, showing His faithful providence through ordinary means.

Application

  • Use influence to seek the good of others and the peace of your city.
  • Measure greatness by service and integrity, not by status.
  • Keep records of God’s faithfulness so hope endures.

Bible

1And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land, and upon the isles of the sea.

2And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the declaration of the greatness of Mordecai, whereunto the king advanced him, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?

3For Mordecai the Jew was next unto king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren, seeking the wealth of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.
