Bet that made you look twice, didn't it?
If you read the story of Queen Esther, you will find that the eunuchs are the unsung heroes of the story. As my friend Elsabe pointed out, the eunuchs were the ones who primed Queen Esther on how to deal with the king and how to approach him. They were the ones who took care of Esther before she became queen and told her what to take when it was her turn to parade before King Xerxes. They were the ones who related Mordecai's acts to the king, and they were the ones who played a huge role in saving both Mordecai and Esther's lives.
No one is "just" a eunuch, "just" a domestic worker, "just" a petrol station attendant, "just" a cashier at the grocery store. A superhero lies deep in the soul of each one of us. Not the Spiderman sort of superhero, but the sort that comes from reaching our potential in Christ and living our lives fully for Him. Great things can come from the most unlikely of us.
"... Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." - Philippians 1:6
