Redeeming the Irredeemable

He has been described as a he-man with a she-weakness. Raised from birth in a privileged spiritual environment, with a unique and special calling upon his life, his unusual spiritual gifts and power were on full display early on in his young adult years. Unfortunately Samson’s great physical strength was not matched by a corresponding strength of character, and his bent toward living life on the edge eventually caught up with him resulting in the tragic loss of his sight, freedom, and every last vestige of human dignity. But, as we’ll be reminded this morning, human sin and the terrible toll it can exact, does not necessarily get the last word. God’s ability to turn tragedy into triumph was on full display in the closing scene of Samson’s life, in Judges 16:23-31 in a message entitled, “Redeeming the Irredeemable”.
