Jesus is recognized as the true Deliverer because He fully accomplished the salvation of His people through His death and resurrection.
Jesus Christ is the true Deliverer because He completes what Samson could only begin. While Samson's actions signify a physical deliverance from the Philistines, Christ's sacrificial death and resurrection secure spiritual victory over sin, death, and Satan for His people. The Scriptures testify that through Christ's death, believers are set free from condemnation, achieving a complete redemption that Samson could not provide. As proclaimed in Romans 8:1, there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who has liberated us from the law of sin and death. This perfect fulfillment of deliverance illustrates Jesus as the greater Samson, who achieves more than mere physical feats.
