When Bad News Comes Knocking

Have You or Someone You Know Ever Received “BAD NEWS”?

King Xerxes reigned from his royal throne in the citadel of Susa, ruling over 127 provinces stretching from India to Cush.

Have you ever received bad news? Perhaps you went to work and received a layoff notice from your employer. Or perhaps you went to a doctor appointment only to be told that you have cancer. Maybe your phone rang and on the other end was your mother or father with terrible news concerning a death in the family.

The Book of Esther is Mordecai’s account of when the Jews received a death notice by special delivery.
