Samson's story is a typology that reflects Christ's work of vengeance against sin for His people.
The account of Samson in Judges serves as a typological illustration of Christ's work in avenging the death of His bride, the Church. Samson, feeling wronged by the Philistines, declares his intent to take vengeance, a clear picture of how Christ avenges His people against sin and death. The sermon elucidates that just as Samson sought justice for the wrongs done to his wife, Christ’s death and resurrection secured justice and made atonement for the sins of His elect. This parallel reflects God's covenantal promise of redemption and demonstrates the seriousness with which God regards sin, ultimately culminating in the vicarious atonement found in Jesus Christ.
