Handling An Enemy Named Haman

Key Verse

“And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath.” Esther 3:5

Text — Esther 3:1-6

Message

Haman was a high-ranking officer in the palace of King Ahasuerus of Persia. As the head of the palace government, he became a notorious enemy of the Jews. He extended his wicked attitude to Mordecai and his people. He even planned to destroy all the Jews because of Mordecai. At the end, God fought for Mordecai and his people. The pit that Haman planned to hang Mordecai turned to his own burial place.

There are some children who are mean to others. They pick on others who are smaller or not as strong as they are. Has anyone ever treated you like that? Sadly, bullies like Haman are not just at school, they are everywhere, and they hurt a lot of people. And what do they end up with? A bunch of broken people.

If you are a friend of Jesus, you do not have to be scared of an enemy. Instead, talk to God about him or her. God wants you to be kind to everyone. Do not be afraid, because as a child of God, the enemy cannot really hurt you. But God wants us to love them too by bringing them to the Saviour. Even though they might seem tough, many of them are hurting inside. By showing a little love to an enemy, you could really change things at school and in your community
