Opening Question:
Justice is sometimes difficult to grasp and see. Select a current issue from within the world, nation, church etc and discuss what justice would look like in the choosen situation?
Personal Reflection:
In what area of your life or community do you long to see justice lived out?
Esther and Mordecai have choosen to do what is right throughout the story, yet they still face destruction. Haman though, who is prideful, angry and bitter, has been successful in plotting against the Jews. Finally, in chapter 7, Esther and Mordecai see justice talking place. We are all called to be consistent in character whether justice prevails in our lives or not. In this study we will see what happens when the hidden things are revealed.
Questions:
Later:
Why not committ to reading a book about the area of injustice, a way for the group to go deeper into one area of our lives which is difficult to comprehend?
Prayer:
Share requests for prayer around the area of injustice and then pray for those situations that are both personal and in our world.
