I was reading through the story of Samson in the book of Judges and his riddle is one of the greatest pictures of the gospel in the Old Testament. Judg 14:14: "And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle." Like the riddle, the gospel was a mystery that could only be revealed by the one who created it. The answer to Samson's riddle was "What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion?", but there is a better answer. Jesus is stronger than a lion and his gospel is sweeter than honey. Jesus died and from his dead body came his flesh and blood that he freely gives to us. Samson saw a glimpse of something so amazing it could only have been revealed by the Spirit.
