Continuing on with a hero’s tragedy, the Bible says Samson was a man of faith no doubt because he believed in God to give him the strength to defeat his enemies. Yet he was a controversial leader. He had many chances to judge Israel but never got around to do it. Samson always went his own way doing what he thought was right. Many blamed Delilah for Samson’s ruin and disgrace. She did have her part to play, but ultimately the rise and fall of Samson was of his own doing because he chose his path, albeit it was wrong, but he still chose his own way because God has given us all free will. There was no doubt Samson abuse the power God gave him by using it to get back at his enemies who angered him but even so, God still used him. Samson also shows us like with Adam he had a free will, choosing his own path, his own direction. Samson had a covenant with God but he sinned and kept going until the covenant was broken. This was his ultimate downfall but even still, God continued to love him and picked him back up when he asked for his help. You remember when Jesus was carrying the cross getting ready to die for our sins? He needed help carrying the cross so the Roman soldiers seized Simon of Cyrene on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him to carry behind Jesus. This particular passage can be found in Luke 23: 26. I was wanting to shine light on this because this particular passage tells us what Jesus does for us. No doubt Jesus fell and couldn’t hold his cross any longer so the Roman soldiers forced Simon to hold the cross for Jesus. Jesus is telling us that he will do the same for each and every one of us. He will bear our cross. Sometimes it is too much for us to handle. We walk down a lonely road holding our cross, sweating, crying and in pain. We can’t go any further, we drop our cross to the ground and fall to our knees tired and wore out, but then Jesus comes carrying our cross. Carrying us, telling us we will make it. Remember He said my burdens are light and my yoke is easy. He will carry both us and our cross because He’s just that the big and strong and mighty and awesome.
