The Book of Judges The cycle of sin and redemption

Purpose of Writing: The Book of Judges can be divided into two sections: 1)Chapters 1-16  Starts with the Israelites' defeat of the Canaanites  Ends with the defeat of the Philistines and the death of Samson; 2) Chapters  a time “when there was no king in Israel.”

Key Verse Judges 2:16-19 Then the LORD raised up judges, who saved them out of the hands of these raiders. Yet they would not listen to their judges but prostituted themselves to other gods and worshiped them. Unlike their fathers, they quickly turned from the way in which their fathers had walked, the way of obedience to the LORD's commands. Whenever the LORD raised up a judge for them, he was with the judge and saved them out of the hands of their enemies as long as the judge lived; for the LORD had compassion on them as they groaned under those who oppressed and afflicted them. But when the judge died, the people returned to ways even more corrupt than those of their fathers, following other gods and serving and worshiping them. They refused to give up their evil practices and stubborn ways.

The Book of Judges is a tragic account of how God was taken for granted by the Israelites year after year, century after century.  In the book of Judges, the Israelites were disobedient and idolatrous, leading to their many defeats.  Yet God has never failed to rescue His people whenever they repented from their wicked ways and call upon His name. (Judges 2:18) in a

Another way of saying that is…

After the death of Joshua and his contemporaries, the Israelites returned to serving Baal. God allowed the Israelites to suffer the consequences of worshiping false gods. It was then that the Israelites would cry out to God for help. God sent His children judges to lead them in righteous living. But time after time they would turn their backs on God and return to their lives of wickedness. However, keeping His part of the covenant with Abraham, God would save His people from their oppressors. in a

But time after time they would turn their backs on God and return to their lives of wickedness. However, keeping His part of the covenant with Abraham, God would save His people from their oppressors. in a After the death of Joshua and his contemporaries, the Israelites returned to serving Baal. It was then that the Israelites would cry out to God for help. God sent His children judges to lead them in righteous living. God allowed the Israelites to suffer the consequences of worshiping false gods. While the judge as alive, the people lived according to God’s laws: it was a time of peace.

Or, like this… What did the Israelites do? What did God do in response? What did the Israelites then do? What did God then do in response? What did the Israelites then do?

But the Israelites said to the LORD, 'We have sinned. Do with us whatever you think best, but please rescue us now.' “In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as he saw fit.” Key Verse Judges 10:15 Key Verse Judges 21:25

What has this book got to do with Jesus? The announcement to Samson’s mother that she would bear a son to lead Israel is a foreshadowing of the announcement to Mary of the birth of the Messiah.  God sent His Angel to both women and told them they would “conceive and bear a son” (Judges 13:7; Luke 1:31) who would lead God’s people.

God’s compassionate delivery of His people, despite their sin and rejection of Him, presents a picture of Christ on the cross.  Jesus died to deliver His people—all who would ever believe in Him—from their sin.  Although most of those who followed Him during His ministry would eventually fall away and reject Him, still He remained faithful to His promise and went to the cross to die for us. What has this book got to do with Jesus?

What’s this got to do with us today? Disobedience always brings judgment.  The Israelites present a perfect example of what we are not to do.  Instead of learning from experience that God will always punish rebellion against Him, they continued to disobey and suffer God’s displeasure and discipline.

What’s this got to do with us today? If we continue in disobedience, we invite God’s discipline, not because He enjoys our suffering, but “because the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son" (Hebrews 12:6).

The Book of Judges is a testament to God’s faithfulness.  Even “if we are faithless, He will remain faithful” (2 Timothy 2:13).  Though we may be unfaithful to Him, as the Israelites were, still He is faithful to save us and preserve us (1 Thessalonians 5:24).  He will also forgive us when we seek forgiveness (1 John 1:9).

The Book of Judges is a testament to God’s faithfulness.  “He will keep you strong to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful” (1 Corinthians 1:8-9).

Discuss the following questions to make sure you know why we’re studying this book: – What’s the book basically about? – What’s the connection between this book and what we learnt about so far this year in Biblical Studies? – What’s the connection between this book and Jesus? – What will I learn about God from this book?
