Samson: Do Heroes Exist? | Sunday School Revisited
Samson is not a story about a strong courageous hero but how we compromise to sin. We cannot be our own hero, we need a savior to free us from the slavery of our sin. Samson is a flawed, impulsive figure who reflects the unfaithfulness of Israel—and of us. Though chosen and empowered by God, he continually breaks his vow and does what is right in his own eyes. Where Samson failed in strength, Jesus triumphed in weakness.
