Judges 13
SAMSON AND ME
We can relate to many of the Bible Characters. We have all been impetuous
like Peter and disturbed like Martha.
We've all fallen into sin like David and seen the Lord deliver us from
trouble like Daniel.
Other Bible characters
are not as easy for us to relate to. One
such character is Samson. We may not think that we have much in common with
him, but we do.
SAMSON WAS SPECIAL - I
AM SPECIAL Vss. 1-5
Samson had a special
birth. - Vss. 1-3 As a Christian, so did
Samson was a special
person - Vs. 5 - As a Christian, so am

life - Vss. 4-5 - As a Christian, so should I - Titus
SAMSON WAS SELECTED TO
SERVE GOD - I HAVE BEEN SELECTED TO SERVE GOD Vs. 5
He was selected to
deliver
I am selected to be a
faithful servant to my Lord Jesus Christ and to be his ambassador. John
SAMSON WAS SEPARATED - I
AM SEPARATED Vss. 4-5, 13-14
Please note that there
are two types of separation. The first kind is positional. That comes with
birth. The other kind is practical. That is lived out on a daily basis. Samson
was born separated, and did practice some forms of separation (long hair of a Nazarite). However,
his biggest problem was a lack of separation from foreign women.
As Christians, we have
been separated unto God. - 1 Peter 2:9
As Christians, we are to
live a separated life. - 1 Peter 1:15-16
SAMSON WAS SPIRIT MOVED
- I SHOULD BE SPIRIT FILLED - Vss. 24-25
See Acts 1:8, Ephesians
5:18-21, Galatians 5:22-23
