Aim: To take encouragement from Christ's deliverance of His church.
Doctrine: God's provision of Samson reminds us of how He saves His church. The Lord finds us in our deplorable conditions, and He redeems us through a perfect Messiah.
Exegesis: How God delivers His church (using Samson as an example): He raises up special people (vv. 1-5); He builds faith in His children (vv. 6-8); He confirms His gracious promises to us (vv. 9-11).
Further application: How the church should be strengthened by today's scripture lesson: no matter how bad things get for the saints of God down here, our Father always rescues His own, through Christ our Savior.
Key verse: v. 5 ''For behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. And no razor shall come upon his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb; and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.''
