Topic: Handling An Enemy Named Haman

Text: Esther 3:1-6

1After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him.

2And all the king’s servants, that were in the king’s gate, bowed, and reverenced Haman: for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence.

3Then the king’s servants, which were in the king’s gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king’s commandment?

4Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai’s matters would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew.

5And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath.

6And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had shewed him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.

Key Verse: “And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath.” Esther 3:5

Message

Haman was a high-ranking officer in the palace of King Ahasuerus of Persia. As the head of the palace government, he became a notorious enemy of the Jews. He extended his wicked attitude to Mordecai and his people. He even planned to destroy all the Jews because of Mordecai. At the end, God fought for Mordecai and his people. The pit that Haman planned to hang Mordecai turned to his own burial place.

There are some children who are mean to others. They pick on others who are smaller or not as strong as they are. Has anyone ever treated you like that? Sadly, bullies like Haman are not just at school, they are everywhere, and they hurt a lot of people. And what do they end up with? A bunch of broken people.

If you are a friend of Jesus, you do not have to be scared of an enemy. Instead, talk to God about him or her. God wants you to be kind to everyone. Do not be afraid, because as a child of God, the enemy cannot really hurt you. But God wants us to love them too by bringing them to the Saviour. Even though they might seem tough, many of them are hurting inside. By showing a little love to an enemy, you could really change things at school and in your community

Prayer for today: Lord Jesus help me to love everyone around me.

GOSPEL REALM: STEPS TO SALVATION
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
