What does the Bible say about good coming from evil?

In the context of Judges 14, the narrative of Samson provides a powerful illustration of how God can bring forth good from evil. Samson's slaying of the lion is a picture of Christ's victory over sin and death. In the aftermath, the swarm of bees and honey found in the carcass of the lion serves as a metaphor for the sweetness of grace that emerges from Christ’s suffering. This aligns with the broader biblical theme that God’s sovereignty oversees all events, including evil, to accomplish His redemptive purposes. As Romans 8:28 affirms, 'We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.' Therefore, the evil acts of Satan, while seemingly triumphing, ultimately serve to highlight and magnify God's grace through Jesus' finished work on Calvary.
