In Esther 1-2:1-18, King Ahasuerus throws a big party, but Queen Vashti refuses to come when called. The king gets upset and looks for a new queen. Esther, a young Jewish girl, is chosen for her beauty and kindness. She hides her Jewish identity. Esther finds favor with the king and becomes the new queen, but she doesn't tell him she's Jewish. This sets the stage for some important events that will happen later.

In Revelation 3:1-6, Jesus sends a message to the church in Sardis. He tells them they look alive, but they are actually spiritually weak. Jesus urges them to strengthen what remains of their faith and to remember and obey what they have learned. He promises that those who stay strong in their faith and overcome sin will be dressed in white and will not be erased from the Book of Life. Jesus encourages them to listen to the Holy Spirit.
