“For Such A Time As This” The Role of Holiness in Youth Ministry

Esther 4:13,14

13Then Mordecai told them to reply to Esther, "Do not think to yourself that in the king's palace you will escape any more than all the other Jews. 14For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"

You can tell that Jewish scholars and theologians have a great understanding of history and tradition by their belief that that they are only one generation away from being extinct as a people. Their diligence and perseverance to continue the movement of their faith, is something not just out of tradition, but also out of necessity.
