SAMPSON A TYPE OF CHRIST
PARALLELS.
I. Samson's nativity was foretold by an angel of God: so was the conception and nativity of Jesus Christ foretold by an angel. (2.) Sampson was sanctified from the womb: so was Christ much more.
II. Sampson in respect of his great strength, as some conceive, was a type of Christ.
III. He conquered a stout lion in the desert, hand to hand, as it were: so Christ overcame the roaring lion, the devil, in the wilderness, and made him fly.
IV. He slew many of God's enemies by hia death: so Jesus Christ by death overcame sin, Satan, hell, and the grave.
