“For Mordecai the Jew was second to King Ahasuerus, and was great among the Jews and well received by the multitude of his brethren, seeking the good of his people and speaking peace to all his countrymen.” Esther 10:3

The king, who was narcissistic and grandiose, valued Mordecai as an asset for his kingdom. Mordecai helped the Jewish people accept the rule of king Ahasuerus through obedience to God and the Ten Commandments. As followers of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit teaches us to be obedient to those in authority, “Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men.” Titus 3:1-2

The global culture of today is hostile to Jesus Christ, His Gospel, and all who follow the teachings of the Bible. Yet, we revere the name of Jesus as the name above all names and He is readily received in our spirit. We know our Lord Jesus seeks our well-being and speaks peace to us as His family. “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John 14:27

Our Lord Jesus Christ gives us the Comforter Holy Spirit through a life of Holiness by the remission of sin. “If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.” John 14:15-18

We live in this world alongside the anti-Christian global culture like wheat growing with the tares, “Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.”’” Matthew 13:30 Jesus Christ does not pray that we be taken out of this world but that we be sanctified in the spirit of Holiness, “I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.” John 17:15-17

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:1
