Jesus is the real Samson, whose glorious life enables us to live with strength and power, but we must see and believe what he did for us to truly become people of strength. God wants to use us powerfully in people's lives, but we'll screw it up until we see that Jesus was the real Samson given for us. Our strength comes from worshiping Jesus for what he's done through us, not from what we do for him. [... more]
