Why Dress Up on Purim?

Curt Landry Ministries and the One New Man Network® Podcast.

In the book of Esther, it is written that the Feast of Purim would be recognized and observed at a specific time each year so “that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city…” (Esther 9:28).
One way of recognizing and observing is to dress up on Purim!

The story of Purim is about Esther, an orphan girl who marries a king and becomes queen. This sounds like a fairytale. In reality, it is God’s story of deliverance for the Jewish people. There are many spiritual truths in this story. There are also opportunities to sow seeds of hope and teach the next generation about our Great Deliverer.

“The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;
My God, my strength, in whom I will trust;
My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”—Psalm 18:2

When Believers dress up on Purim, they are saying…

• “I will rejoice with gladness. Deliverance is made possible through Yeshua.”
• “I will seek my identity in Yeshua.”
• “I have the heart to know my Lord and my spiritual heritage.”
• “I will fight against the enemy and his anti-Semitic plans.”
• “I will teach and speak of God’s glory to the next generation.”

So then, how are these statements revealed in the lives of Believers who dress up on Purim?
