Broken Heroes - The Book of Judges
Week 2 , Ehud // Judges 3:12-30
God’s people were so broken that God raised up heroes called Judges to save them, but even the best of the Judges were broken people. Broken Heroes leading Broken People is a recipe for the dumpster fire of Judges and that leaves God’s people longing for divine hero.
The book of Judges shows us that the Bible is not a “Book of Virtues;” it is not full of inspirational stories. Why? Because the Bible (unlike the books on which other religions are based) is not about following moral examples. It is about a God of mercy and long-suffering, who continually works in and through us despite our constant resistance to his purposes. Ultimately, there is only one hero in this book, and he’s divine.
