Esther 9-10

“So these days were to be remembered and celebrated throughout every generation, every family … for these days of Purim were not to fail from among the Jews, or their memory fade from their descendants” (9:28). Like the Passover, Purim celebrates a time when God intervened to save His people. Re-telling the story teaches the next generation who God is: the God who hears, the God who loves, the God who acts on our behalf.

Re-telling Bible stories opens our hearts to expect God to hear, love, and act the same way, for us, today.
