30/7/2017

Jesus sees the people as the 'lost sheep', or 'sheep without a shepherd' who are 'harassed and helpless.' So he recruits twelve men to be sent out to help spread the good news of God's Kingdom, to bring people true peace.

The book of Ruth is not part of the book of Judges, but it does tell of events during the time of the Judges. However, rather than focussing on some of the big events of the time, the battles and wars it focusses down on the lives of a few individuals.

So Samson, the Philistines most wanted man is captured and put on display in their temple to Dagon. Yet, Samson still has faith, and the Philistine victory is turned into disaster as Samson's God proves far greater than theirs.
