Day 132: Mighty Samson kills a lion then marries a Philistine | Jesus affirms he is sent by God

In Judges 14-15, Samson's journey intertwines with personal revenge and divine destiny. After his marriage to a Philistine woman goes awry, he vows vengeance against her people, using supernatural strength to outwit and overpower them. His exploits, from killing a lion with his bare hands to catching 300 foxes and using them to set the Philistines' fields on fire, escalate tensions.

As Samson continues on his path of destruction, will his uncontrollable rage lead to his downfall, or will it serve a greater purpose in God's plan?

In John 7:14-44, Jesus boldly teaches in the Temple during the Feast of Tabernacles, surprising many with His deep understanding despite not having formal education. Skepticism and division grow among the crowds and Jewish leaders; some believe He is the Messiah, while others suspect He deceives the people. Amidst rising tensions, officers are sent to arrest Jesus, but they return empty-handed, captivated by His words.

Will the growing division and disbelief lead to Jesus’ arrest, or will His teachings continue to inspire and perplex those who hear Him?
