Judges | God’s Faithfulness to Unfaithful People (15:1-20 — An Unlikely Likeness)

Judges 15:1-20

“God is sovereign over history and he is the (ultimate) author of Scripture. As such, God announced beforehand, in type and shadow, promise and prophecy, the redemption he would accomplish through his incarnate Son.” — Stephen Coleman

Luke 24:27

Like Jesus, Samson was a man who disrupted the lives of everyone around him, forcing them to deal with him.

Matthew 16:13-16

Samson became an unwitting foreshadow of Jesus’ victory through surrender that we might willingly reflect the same.

John 10:17-18; Philippians 2:5-11

Though rejected by God’s people, Samson became a tool in God’s hands to defeat their enemies; Jesus now uses us as tools in His hands, to make His enemies into His people.
