  • Summary

  • We're exploring the complex relationship between God and the Israelites during the time of the judges. The story of Samuel's unexpected rise to priesthood despite not being a Levite highlights God's willingness to bend the rules when necessary to move the story forward. We see that God is open to dialogue and consistently imagines a reality unbounded by our limited expectations. The ark of the covenant, a physical representation of God's presence, is examined, and its connection to the forgiveness of sins through Christ's sacrifice is beautifully drawn. Ultimately, we are reminded that God is not interested in ruthless aggression or war, even from his chosen people. God would rather lose and appear foolish than support our endless pursuits of violence. This realization is the beginning of a path that leads us to the ultimate forgiveness found in Jesus.
