50’ Gallows Is Not High Enough, Except in Gunsmoke


Esther 4-8

What a powerful story of intrigue, murder plots, fear, vast wealth and sudden changes of fortune.  This story ranks as one of the great examples of Numbers 32:23, “…be sure your sins will find you out”.

As I look back over my life, the last thing I want to happen is for my sins to be found out.   There wouldn’t be a gallows high enough to hang my shame.  Who can spare me from myself? 

“He (God) has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west.”  Psalms 103:12

Whew! I’ve seen enough Gunsmoke to know I don’t want anything to do with a gallows!!!


Don’t you just love Jesus?  “You garran darn tootun!!” (Festus phrase)
