The Message of Judges

The message of Judges. Grace abounding. Behind the stories of the judges of Israel - such as Samson, Jephthah and Barak - stands the Judge. God's grace illuminates even the deepest sin of humanity, as he ensures that his people will never manage to destroy themselves.

The book of Judges contains some of the most famous of the Bible's stories, as well as some of the least known. In them we find much that is attractive but perhaps more that is repulsive. They show us the deepest sin of humanity, but we see that sin in the light of God's abundant grace. Behind judges of Israel like Samson, Jephthah and Barak stands a Judge, discerning and deciding.
Michael Wilcock shows that God never abandons his people, then or now. The Judge of all ensures that they will never manage to destroy themselves, even though it may look as if they are on course for disaster. Ultimately the book of Judges is the story of God's grace.
