Purim is one of the most dramatic stories in the Bible. At first glance, it looks like a tragedy waiting to unfold – an evil decree, a threatened people, and a future that seemed sealed in darkness. But Purim reminds us of something vital: We never know the end of the story until it’s truly over.
What looked like certain destruction became a story of redemption, because Esther and Mordechai refused to give in to despair. They did not wait passively for light to appear. They acted with courage, and because they did, the story ended in victory.
