Intercessor / Mediator (Esther as type)
And Esther spake yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and besought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his device that he had devised against the Jews. Esther 8:3–6
Esther risks herself to plead with tears before the throne for a people already sentenced to death, and the decree against them is overturned. Many Christians see in her a faint picture of Jesus Christ, who pleads for us before the Father and turns our condemnation into deliverance.
A readingEchoA person who is a type of Him
- a type of what is in Hebrews 7:25 — Christ ever lives to make intercession for those who come to God by Him.
