The book of Judges is one account after another of the people's sinfulness. Samson does two things, just like Moses did, he's an example of Israel and therefore an example of us in our spiritual condition. And so you have this role that Samson plays for us in the kind of cringey moments. But we can also look at him and go, okay, he's the one who takes care of Satan's and hell death and the grave similar to how Samson did against Philistines.
All Bible stories are really just one story repeated over and over again, describing the intersection between our sinful condition and God’s relentless faithfulness. So it should come as no surprise when even the heroes of the story seem to be the most flawed. In this episode of White Horse Inn, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland consider the shocking narrative of Samson, explaining how all stories, like Samsons’, lead us back to the glory of God.
