What does the Bible say about Samson's role as a deliverer?

Answered in 1 source

Samson's role as a deliverer foreshadows Christ, who came to save His people from sin.

Samson is portrayed in the Book of Judges as a deliverer for Israel, particularly against the Philistines, who represent the sin and bondage of God's people. His birth was announced by the angel of the Lord, similar to the announcement of Christ's birth. Just as Samson was chosen to deliver Israel from physical oppression, Christ was sent to deliver His people from spiritual bondage. Ultimately, Samson's story points to Christ, who is the true deliverer of His people from the bondage of sin and death, underscoring the gospel message.
