Let's look at Esther 2:10-11 "Esther had not revealed her people or family, for Mordecai had charged her not to reveal it. And every day Mordecai paced in front of the court of the women's quarters, to learn of Esther's welfare and what was happening to her." As you can see in verse eleven Mordecai was concerned about Esther, he paced in front of the court of the women's quarters to learn of Esther's welfare and what was happening to her" He had raised her and was concerned for her well being. Remember, these women were taken against their will, they didn't have a choice. Out of his concern and for her own safety, Mordecai warned Esther to conceal the fact that she was a Jew. They had seen the discrimination, the anti-Semitism.
How many of us could be classified as a secret Christian? When we are at work or school, with friends or with family do we openly practice our Christian faith? Do you share Christ or are you silent? Do you fear the consequences of sharing your faith and therefore choose to say nothing?
