You know what the most amazing thing about the story of Samson is? It's how we can still see not only glimpses of Jesus' mercy for us, but also His sacrifice for us. Jesus' greatest victory comes from His lowest point. Craig and Troy finish the long, sad, confusing, and at times stupid story of Samson.

Well, it appears Samson didn't learn his lesson after all. He fights with the strength of the Lord, but forgets the Lord is his strength. When faced with a woman who is obviously trying to find out his secrets, he eventually caves and gives himself over to her. But wasn't he supposed to be given wholly over to the Lord?

Once again, Samson feels he's been wronged. And once again, Samson escalates the situation, but this time also comes to realize that he has been chosen as deliverer of Israel. Has Samson finally learned his lesson, or does Samson view God as a means to an end? Craig and Troy continue with the complicated story of the Judges.
