Moment of Truth Esther 5:1 On the third day Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the palace, in front of the king's hall. The king was sitting on his royal throne in the hall, facing the entrance. 2 When he saw Queen Esther standing in the court, he was pleased with her and held out to her the gold scepter that was in his hand. So Esther approached and touched the tip of the scepter. THIS seems so simple. Esther approaches the king, her husband, and he welcomes her. But this is, in fact, life-threatening. Esther approached the king without his request for her to come. By law, he could have condemned her to death, but by his grace, he allowed Esther to live. One day you will enter Christ the King’s throne room of heaven. See in Daniel 7:9 "As I looked, "thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took his seat. His clothing was as white as snow; the hair of his head was white like wool. His throne was flaming with fire, and its wheels were all ablaze. 10 A river of fire was flowing, coming out from before him. Thousands upon thousands attended him; ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The court was seated, and the books were opened. 13 "In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven... 14 He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.” By God’s law you are condemned. By God’s grace, Jesus’ blood saves you as you confess him your Lord and Savior. Are you prepared to enter into the King’s throne room? It’s True!
