The Church Honoured by Her Enemies
Esther 6:6-11
So Haman came in. And the king said to him, What shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honor?…


In this manner does God sometimes make the enemies of His Church and servants to honour them. He not only makes the sinners' hands to forge the snares in which they themselves are caught, but He compels them to weave the crown and impose it on the head of the righteous.

(T. McCrie, D. D.)
