    The Book of Judges: Samson's Strength and Sacrifice w/ Eric Johnson (Part 9 of 9)

    Send us a text Why would God use a flawed man like Samson to begin to deliver His people? In our final episode on the Book of Judges, Eric Johnson brings to life the riveting and complex story of Samson. We explore not just his unparalleled strength but also his significant shortcomings. From the Israelites' resignation to Philistine rule to their surprising decision to bind Samson and hand him over, we unpack the deeper implications of their actions and what it reveals about their state of mind.  Samson's life is filled with controversial and unconventional choices, like his desire for a Philistine wife and his violation of Nazarite vows by consuming honey from a lion's carcass. We delve into the drama of his wedding feast and the riddle he challenges his Philistine companions with, drawing fascinating parallels to popular culture.  As we reflect on the lessons from Samson's tumultuous life, we distinguish his intelligence from his often foolish decisions, illustrated by personal anecdotes. We discuss his strategic—yet risky—plans and his ill-fated relationship with Delilah through the lens of Paul's reflections in Romans 7. The episode concludes with a powerful message: God's strength is made perfect in human weakness. Through Samson's ultimate sacrifice, we see a testament to God's ability to work through flawed individuals, leaving a legacy that extends beyond his life.
