Judges 16:1-31
The story of Samson tells us a lot about the effects of sin on our lives. Samson shows us that if we don't learn from our sin it will grow, how sin is strengthened through unhealthy relationships, and how when we make peace with sin we lose the power and presence of God. Yet, Samson's story also shows us how God in His great mercy can restore us to Himself and His ministry when we call on Him.
In Judges, we see what happens when God's people forsake Him and seek what is right IN THEIR OWN EYES. Even as Israel spirals into chaos, destruction, and sin, God pursues them by providing mediators who would point them to a GREATER MEDIATOR -- one who would not only judge but be judged in their place.
