Humor in the Book of Esther (Come, Follow Me: Book of Esther)
Come, Follow Me 2022 Old Testament Daily Short Videos | 05 min

Come, Follow Me Week 31, Part 5/7 | July 25- July 31
God teaches us lessons in all sorts of ways, but I think one underappreciated teaching tool is humor. An underappreciated aspect of the book of Esther is just how humorous it is. This story is filled with dramatic irony, character foils, and a bit of absurdity to help clearly communicate to the audience who the good guys are and who the bad guys are. And through all the cheerfulness and humor, the message still remains that God saved His people through a miracle.
