A shaved Head
V 21
the long hair represented the power of God
he being separated unto God
But now the head is shaved
no power, no eyes, shackled, grinding wheat
A great powerful man of God, disgraced, reduced to a comic diversion
led around by a small boy, like a puppy
The Ungodly Rejoice
V 23
the Philistines had a great party

V 24

V 25 bring out Gods man that we can humiliate him

it causes the world to rejoice
We ARE the body of Christ
The cause of Christ is greatly affected
His Hair started to Grow back
V 22
The relationship with God started
Forgiveness has been granted
Restoration has begun
God’s discipline is never isolated from His restoration.
God never punishes believers; He always disciplines them.
The difference is very important.
Punishment is designed to satisfy justice, but discipline is designed to produce maturity and to restore to usefulness.

In the Restoration Business
Psalm 32
Psalm 51
You need to know the difference between forgiveness and restoration.
- Forgiveness focuses on the sin of the person and restoration focuses on service and trust.
- Forgiveness is immediate; restoration is gradual.
It took time for Samson’s hair to grow back.
The purpose of God’s discipline is to refine us not to break us
Are you a failure? of course you are
