The Big Truth: True strength is more about faith than muscles.
Summary: Once a mighty hero, Samson was mocked by the Philistines at a party. He prayed to God for strength one last time and sacrificed himself to defeat his enemies by pushing apart two pillars, causing the house to collapse. Despite his flaws, Samson's strength and sacrifice made him a legendary hero in Israel.
Connection to Jesus: The Bible has many heroes like Moses, Joshua, and Samson, but Jesus is the ultimate superhero because of his perfect goodness and sacrificial love. Jesus, the Son of God, conquered sin, death, and the devil, rising again to defeat his enemies and show us the true example of faith, hope, and love.
