Studly Samson

On Sunday mornings at Vintage Church, we are working our way thru the book of Judges.

We're approaching the chapters of Samson...... the most "famous" Judge of all of them -- to most people at least.

And the most challenged, conflicted and confused Judge of them all.

He was one odd dude.

Anyway, I thought it'd be fun to see some various portrayals of "strong & mighty Samson" utilizing a Google search.  What a variety!

Why are they all white?

Pretty sure that's not accurate.

This is more how I picture Samson:

Although some Biblical scholars will argue that there was nothing unusual about Samson..... just an ordinary-sized Jewish man -- with long hair.  They say nothing about him portrayed "strength", which is why the Philistine leadership was so confuzzled about why the guy was such a powerful dude.

Wonder what Samson and Zacchaeus would have looked like side-by-side?

Grace & Peace & Love to you all -

Matt

p.s. while putting this post together, I came across this -- a movie I'd not heard of.  What the heck?
