“For Mordecai the Jew was
second only to King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews and in Favor with his
many kinsmen, one who sought the good of his people and one who spoke for the
welfare of his whole nation.” — Book of Esther 10:3
Sometimes, the very people
we consider insignificant become the reason for great blessings in our lives.
Many of us have read in childhood the story of the lion and the mouse. Some may
wonder how a tiny mouse could ever help a mighty lion. Yet, in that story, the
mouse—considered small and insignificant—rescued the kingly lion in a moment of
crisis and saved its life.
In a similar way, Mordecai
the Jew seemed insignificant, like that little mouse. Who would value a man
sitting at the king’s gate? Yet, through this very Mordecai, whom many might
have overlooked, great deliverance came to the Jews, as we read in the Book
of Esther.
Our Lord Jesus Christ also
warned us:
“See that you do not look
down on one of these little ones; for I say to you that their angels in heaven
continually see the face of My Father who is in heaven.” — Gospel of Matthew
18:10
Therefore, we must never
despise anyone based on their occupation, income, education, caste, or
religion.
Perhaps today, like
Mordecai, we may be in a lowly position. Our education may be limited. We may
earn less than others. Even our relatives may look down on us because of our
job, financial condition, or academic background. But if we remain faithful and
upright in whatever work we do and live a life pleasing to God, surely God will
exalt us.
We read about Mordecai’s
elevation:
“Indeed, Mordecai was great
in the king’s house, and his fame spread throughout all the provinces; for the
man Mordecai became greater and greater.” — Book of Esther 9:4
After God exalted him,
Mordecai did not labour for his own promotion alone. He became a helper and
blessing to all the Jews. As today’s meditation verse says, he sought the good
of his people and spoke for the welfare of his whole nation.
Thus, today’s meditation
teaches us two important lessons:
First, we must never despise
those who are below us in position, wealth, education, or in any other way. God
is able to exalt anyone at any time.
Second, when God lifts us up
from our lowly state, we must not become proud or look down on others. Instead,
we must live as those who help and uplift others.
Yes, beloved, Mordecai, who
once sat as a gatekeeper and seemed insignificant among the Jews, was exalted
by God to become great among them. And after being exalted, he became beloved
by his brethren, seeking their good and speaking peace to his whole nation.
This is one reason God
raises us from lowliness to greatness—not merely for our own benefit, but so
that through us, others may also be blessed.
Mordecai the Jew stands as a
lesson to us, the spiritual Jews.
