How can one who is complete be made complete . . . unless, it is because we suffer simply as a result of sin and death and it is his solidarity with us as human beings that he must necessarily suffer, too, to be made completely like us. And then, because he was sinless, through his suffering and death he overcame all suffering and death to win for us eternal life with the Father. In other words, to be perfected through suffering, means that to become completely human as he was completely God, he needed to experience what we experience as a result of Adam's sin: suffering. Then through his suffering he achieved victory over suffering and death. I, too, find it curious that Jesus, the God of the Universe was made perfect through suffering.

I've been doing a bit of research on the book of Esther and its nice to read something that shows trust in the word of God. Thanks! But what you said about Amestris possibly being Vashti seems unlikely from what I've read, historians seem to think she was queen until Xerxes died and even then she sill had authority.
