Samson was a broken hero, just as you and I are broken people. But Samson points to a better hero. His life as a fallen and imperfect judge points to the perfect Judge who was to come in Jesus.

Jesus finishes what Samson started. Jesus is the Leader we do NOT deserve. Both were announced and miraculous births but Jesus was never led by his impulses but by the Father's will.

We all have that one 'junk drawer' in our house that is a catch all. We also have another junk drawer that we are probably unaware of when it comes to beliefs in spiritual things. Where people pick and choose their virtues from here and spiritual ideas from over here and sprinkle in this one thing that I heard about on social media and they mix it together to form their religion which looks nothing like the way of Jesus.

Traps can cause problems for a few generations. But grace, love, compassion, mercy—with God’s help—can have an impact for a millennia. These values learned from God can break cycles, stopping them dead in their tracks.

Gideon is not your typical hero. When we first met him last week he was hiding out on his farm threshing wheat in a wine press. But God calls him “my mighty warrior” because he doesn’t see him for what he currently is but what He can do through him with His power. He does the same with us.
