We in the church live at the crossroads of listening for Wisdom, and, despite our shortcomings, being a kind of demonstration plot for Wisdom’s ways. 
Jesus Sophia kickstarts the cycle of life which had been spiraling down toward death.  The anointed one, Wisdom, has been raised up.  Jesus Sophia lives and reigns with God.  Not as a conquering king.  But as eternal Wisdom.  Wisdom which is always seeking out other bodies to continue the story of Jesus Sophia.  We are the body of Christ.  We are the body of Sophia.
Vashti may not have accomplished any significant changes or moves toward a more just society, but her story becomes part of a heritage of resistance, imagination, and solidarity. Her risk of defying the king created space for others to imagine themselves standing for something greater than themselves.
Nothing in existence is self-created.  Not even those lonely 21st century humans.  Everything and everyone is Wisdom-created.  And we, like Wisdom, have the remarkable capacity to remain in ourselves, and renew – maybe not all things – but at least be part of the renewal of things around us.  That’s what Wisdom is doing in this story.  And that’s our story.
