A key can open a treasure box or unlock the door to Nordstrom's the day after Christmas. Open either and you'll find treasures galore.
A key can also be very important in Bible Study. Key Words can and will open up the meaning of the text. Key words are simply repeated words. If God puts a word in the text over and over again, you can count on the fact that He has something special for us to laern about it.
As you read through the Book of Esther you will find many repeated words. Mark them in a distinct way. Get a pack of colored pencils and /or some fine point colored pens.
Some key words are obvious... like the main characters the story is about.King Ahasuerus, Queen Vashti, Esther, Mordecai and Haman are all key words in the Book of Esther.
