One of the bravest souls in the entire story arc of the Bible was a woman named Esther. She was willing to risk her life to save her people by breaking the law, entering the king's chamber, and making her appeal before him. Her reply?
'If I perish, I perish!'
Her uncle, Mordecai, appealed to her with this profound question: 'Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?'
'For such a time as this.'
God is seeking people who are willing to stand up with the same spirit and speak to the brokenness, tumult, and darkness of our current cultural context with the declaration, 'If I perish, I perish!' Who knows, perhaps you were born into this world for such a time as this! - Pastor Jimmy
