Purim
Purim is a joyous celebration of God’s faithfulness, as seen in the book of Esther, where He preserved the Jewish people from destruction, foreshadowing the ultimate deliverance found in Messiah Yeshua.
It reminds us that even when God’s presence seems hidden, He is actively working behind the scenes to bring redemption and victory.
As Messianic believers, we see Purim as a time to rejoice in God’s ongoing protection of Israel and to recognize Yeshua as our ultimate Redeemer, who, like Esther, intercedes on our behalf.
God’s Hidden Hand & Redemption
Purim celebrates God’s unseen hand in delivering the Jewish people through Esther and Mordecai.
