World Evangelization from the Dining Table
Esther 4:1~16│ “Go, gather all the Jews to be found in Susa, and hold a ’
fast on my behalf, and do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I
and my young women will also fast as you do.
Then I will go to the king, though it is against the law, and if I perish,
I perish.” (16)
