JESUS NEVER DISAPPOINTS
As one preacher described it, Samson was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. As chapter thirteen concludes, we have great hope in Samson’s future. Announced by an angel, the only child of faithful and doting parents, and blessed by God, the writer of the Book of Judges has more to say about Samson than any other judge. Yet, Samson disappoints. While his beginning sounds similar to other promised child stories in the Bible (i.e. “Isaac, Samuel, John the Baptist, Jesus”), his life only serves to intensify our longing for a true savior.
The life of Samson reminds us that no human judge or deliverer can truly save. The life of Samson, intensifies our longing for a true hero, a real champion. His life points us to Christ. And Jesus never disappoints. Christ Jesus exceeds all our expectations
PRAYER: Dear Father, we give thanks for Jesus. He never disappoints us. He always exceeds our expectations. In Him, is unconquerable joy and perfect peace. He is the One who calms life’s storms and teaches us not to fear. We have received forgiveness of sin and eternal life through faith in Him. Strengthen us this day so that we do not disappoint. For we want our lives to be pleasing to You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
