Who Was Samson?
In short
Samson was a judge of Israel set apart from birth and given extraordinary strength. His story is one of great gifting and tragic weakness, as he squandered his calling.
Yet even at the end, blind and broken, Samson cried out to God, and God used even his failure to bring deliverance. A story of grace reaching the fallen.
“O Lord God, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once.”
Judges 16:28 · King James Version (public domain)
