For Such a Time as This

Not knowing that his new wife Esther was a Jew, King Ahasuerus of Persia approved a decree that all persons of Jewish descent should be killed. Showing great faith, Esther entered the king's court without an invitation to plead for her people. Read about her experience in Esther 1-4: http://bit.ly/f2QQdl.

@Pattybeetle I'm guessing this was used in an Institute lesson at the beginning of class and the rest was probably taught through a lesson.

They are very smart to leave us wanting more of the story... it encourages us to turn to the actual text (scriptures) for the entire story, and this is a good thing:)

Woah! The guy that plays Haman is the same guy on The Book of Mormon Movie that tells Laban where Lehi is!

I was really into the film but then it abruptly ends without finishing the story... needs more... the audience needs to know that Esther was successful and that the Lord blessed her and her people through her faith and courage

Feel a bit of that burning in my bosom.

Very well done video, but it doesn't finish the story!

Beautifully filmed and told, but I wanted to see even more! I have always loved the story of Esther. Well done!
