1) People can't just come and begin to say they chose or decided their way into Christ or salvation-that is a false gospel testimony.
2) We have to understand that the sinner in Adam was under a decree of condemnation that could not be removed by the hands or works of mere man.
3) And so, we see this gospel testimony played out with the Jews, the people of Mordechai and Esther and how they came under the decree of the one Haman-the enemy of the Jews.
4) The decree sought to destroy them and, in this drama, God taught on the doctrine of union, representation/substitution, to say this is how salvation works.
5) The salvation of the Jews happened over the gallows that had been prepared to hang Mordecai, but they ended up in the destruction of Haman.
6) But Mordechai was not spared of the Gallows-you have to hear the teaching to understand this point-because it is a gospel argument and a lesson on types and shadows.
7) Queen Esther had prepared a banquet of wine-over which she was going to make known her petitions to the king.
8) And her petitions were the petitions of Christ to the Father about His own death and resurrection and the salvation of His people. The resurrection of Christ is too important gospel testimony to be Easter egg hunting around it.
9) The matter of the condemnation of the Jews was settled over the banquet of wine and the gallows and the wrath of the king was pacified/satisfied.
10) The satisfaction of God's wrath happened only on the cross of Christ and nowhere else. A preacher or believer who conditions the removal of the decree that destroys to the sinner does not know or believe the gospel. That and more.
