Esther 3:13-4:16
1. Of what did Mordecai remind Esther?
Mordecai told Esther "Do not think that because you are in the king's house you alone of all the Jews will escape. For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father's family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?"
2. How did Esther view her own life?
Therefore Esther replied "Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my maids will fast as you do. When this is done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish."
She view her own life as for the Jews, not for herself only.
