Episode notes

We see a lot of bad things about Samson being a good example of the sins of the Israelites and all of this. And yet God still chose Samson and God still used Samson. So where does Samson kind of fit into the overarching sort of redemptive narrative here? I think this is a great question for us to ask because often we fixate on the logic of sin being illogical with 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.
