Est_4:9 And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.
Ver. 9. And Hatach came and told Esther] He acted the part of a faithful messenger: so must ministers, those servants of the Churches, declare unto the people all the mind of God, Act_20:27, and not steal God’s word every one from his neighbour, Jer_23:30, not deal deceitfully with it, but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, let them speak in Christ; and let them speak out, not fearing any colours. He that hath my word let him speak my word faithfully, saith God, Jer_23:28. Aaron’s bells were all of gold; the trumpets of the sanctuary were of pure silver; they did not (as those inverse trumpets of Furius Fulvius) sound a retreat, when they should have sounded an alarm; no more must God’s messengers. Whatsoever the Lord saith unto me, that will I speak, saith Micaiah. Paul, as he received what he delivered, so he delivered whatsoever he received, 1Co_11:23. Moses was faithful in all God’s house, &c., Heb_3:5.
