Each of these figures in Judges is a rescue figure, a redeemer. Each of them fall short in many ways, and Samson's failings are famous. But the fact that they fall short points us to the true Redeemer.

Samson is famous for his strength and the powerful, dynamic personality that goes along with it. But he's also known for his weaknesses. It's important to look beyond the caricatures and look at the real heart of the message of this story.
