This week's Sunday School session began with everyone getting a piece or two of a large floor puzzle. We put it together as a group, no one knew for sure where their piece went, we knew the picture was of a fire truck, we struggled a little but we made the pieces fit!
How similar to the story of Queen Esther. She was an important part of God's puzzle, keeping His people safe in captivity so they would be able to return to their homeland and Jesus would be born in Bethlehem. God gave His Word through prophets what the end of the puzzle would look like, but only God could see how to get from Persian captivity to a child in an manger. Esther was put in a prominent position, queen of Persia. Her people were in danger because of a jealous man named Haman. Her cousin Mordecai asked her to put her life on the line to save her people and she agreed. The Jews were warned about the order to kill them and they could fight back! God's people were preserved!
Talk to your children about where we fit in God's puzzle! We know why we are here- to bring glory to God and to serve others. How are we doing that right where we are at this moment?
I can't wait to see the finished puzzle on Judgement Day!
" For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known." 1Corinthians 13:12
