The greatest flaw it seems in the narrative of Samson is that he doesn't trust the Lord. So is that why then we could say then at the end when he does finally say here's my strength, it's evidence that he's saying, you know what the strength is within me? I'm thinking that's a mirror of how foolish the addictiveness of all sins are. He's like, your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out because he's saying Samson doesn't like that first year. His life versus God. It was pretty easy to start judging Samson.
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.
