All Things Work Together for Good
(Lesson 06)

​
Introduction:

         1. The special principle revealed in Romans 8:28 is illustrated in the book of Esther.
         2. Review of ch.1-5:
             a. (ch.1) Ahasuerus, king of Persia, removed Vashti from being queen.
             b. (ch.2) Esther, a beautiful young Jewish woman, was chosen to be the new queen.
             c. (ch.3) Haman devised a plot to destroy the Jews, and it became an official law.
             d. (ch.4) Mordecai involved Esther in the situation that had developed.
             e. (ch.5) Esther asked the king and Haman to attend a banquet she had prepared, and, at the banquet,
                 she asked them to attend another one the following day.
         3. In ch.6 we read about several events that occurred between the two banquets.

Discussion:


I.           (vs.1-3) THE  KING  WAS  REMINDED  OF  MORDECAI'S  GOOD  DEED


         A. (vs.1) When the king could not sleep, he had his book of records read to him.
         B. (vs.2) The record of Mordecai's good deed was read to the king.
             1. (2:21) Two of the king's chamberlains had plotted to kill him.
             2. (2:22) Mordecai reported this information to Esther, and she informed the king.
             3. (2:23a) After an investigation the men were executed.
             4. (2:23b) This incident was recorded in the king's book of chronicles.
         C. (vs.3) The king learned that Mordecai had not been rewarded for his good deed.

II.          (vs.4-5) HAMAN  APPROACHED  THE  KING


         A. (vs.4) Haman desired to speak to the king about hanging Mordecai (5:14).
         B. (vs.5) The king allowed Haman to enter.
         C. Before Haman could speak to the king, . . .

III.         (vs.6) THE  KING  ASKED  HAMAN  FOR  ADVICE


         A. The king asked Haman what he should do for the man he wanted to honor.
         B. The king wanted to honor Mordecai for his good deed.
         C. However, Haman thought that the king wanted to honor him.

IV.         (vs.7-9) HAMAN  OFFERED  A  SUGGESTION  FOR  WHAT  SHOULD  BE  DONE


V.          (vs.10) THE  KING  INSTRUCTED  HAMAN  TO  TREAT  MORDECAI  AS  HE  SUGGESTED


VI.         (vs.11) HAMAN  DID  FOR  MORDECAI  WHAT  HE  THOUGHT  WOULD  BE  DONE  FOR  HIM


VII.        (vs.12) HAMAN  BECAME  VERY  UPSET


VIII.       (vs.13) HAMAN'S  WIFE  AND  FRIENDS  ASSURED  HIM  THAT  HE  WOULD  FALL


IX.         (vs.14) HAMAN  WAS  TAKEN  TO  THE  BANQUET  ESTHER  HAD  PREPARED


Conclusion:


         1. Haman helps us to better understand a number of passages, including Proverbs 10:18; 26:20-28;
             Matthew 7:12; Galatians 6:7.
         2. Haman was humiliated in ch.6, but he suffered a worse fate in ch.7.
