Talk to the children about those people we remember in history (Biblical and world) and the reasons we remember them. What do you learn about faithfully following the Lord? What similarities can be found between Mordecai and Jesus? When you’re finished reading the chapter and verse from Luke, ask for a response from the children regarding their listening assignment. Say to the children, “Wouldn’t it be nice to be noticed for doing right before the Lord by those here on earth? All of us would like to know our lives are making a difference to those around us.” What position was Mordecai? He was second to the king. Where were they written? They are in the Book of the Chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia. What did King Xerxes do? He made sure that all of his accomplishments as well as Mordecai’s were known throughout the land. Reinforce these verses by asking questions. Read (and Recap) Esther 10:1-3 and Luke 2:52. Ask the other half of the children to identify the similarities between Mordecai and Jesus. Prior to reading the final chapter of Esther and Luke 2:52, divide the children into two groups and ask one half of the children to listen for the way the Lord rewards faithfulness.
