Can I see some ID?

I kind of wish my drivers license had my true identity on it. You can find out what I look like from this card, but you won't find out who I am from it.

King Ahasuerus, the king of Persia, was a really bad husband. He didn't even know his wife, Esther, the queen, was a Jew.When the decree was passed down that all Jews in the empire were to be killed, she knew she was included in this. Since there weren't many who knew she was a Jew, and she had the power of being a queen, I think she could have escaped such a fate if she was just quiet about it all. But she didn't hide her identity. She risked her life to show who she really was, and how could she not if she really identified herself as a Jew.

We are children of God. I am a son of God. Let everyone know our true identity. I boast in Jesus Christ!
