Remember Samson? Just watched a powerful dramatic enactment of his story at Sight & Sound Theater in Pennsylvania. His story is recorded in Judges 13-16.

“Behold, the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world!” This was His mission. He came to do this. To take away the sins of the world! The Father wanted it done. He could not stand the separation sin produced. He would tolerate it no longer. The problem behind that awful separation […]
