“Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house. And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.”
Esther 5:1-2 KJV
Queen Esther and her maids fasted for three days. On the third day Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the king’s palace opposite the entrance to the palace; and when the king saw Queen Esther standing in the court, she found favour in his sight and he held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. Then Esther approached and touched the top of the sceptre. Throughout the Old Testament, God speaks in a Messianic language, revealing His resolve to redeem His image and likeness in human form. On the third day, Esther received favour from the king. Jesus said that if they destroyed the temple, in three days He would raise it up. Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The resurrection of Jesus from the dead on the third day, and mankind’s mystical union with Him is the crux of the Gospel. Let’s be carriers of this amazing Gospel, Amen!
