Esther 9:19 Therefore the Jews of the villages, that dwelt in the uncalled towns, made thr fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.
Ever since the day Esther and Mordecai helped deliver and save the Jews, they have celebrated that day in March, called the Feast of Purim. The people remained alive and their enemies were destroyed. It became a day of gladness and feasting and exchanging gifts.
The response to God’s deliverance was similar to our Feast Days of Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter. It is a right and natural response for us to celebrate God’s Salvation on a special holiday with gladness and feasting. In God’s designed rhythm we also celebrate the Gospel weekly on Sundays. Furthermore, in our hearts and minds we remember our Baptism daily and celebrate forgiveness and life. For the believer, all of life, every day, is a day of gladness. When we are reminded daily of the Gospel we are continually glad.
