Read Judges 14:
Samson stumbles across the carcass of a lion and finds some honey in the cavity. He composes a riddle and challenges the Philistines to figure out the answer. They are stymied and appeal to Delilah his wife, to get the answer to the riddle, which she does.
There’s a challenge here for us as well. The mystery of Samson’s riddle was disclosed to foreigners by his bride. In the same way the mystery of the gospel is robe proclaimed to every nation by the church, the Bride of Christ!
Christ, the Lion of Judah, was slain and out of His death flowed the honey of the gospel.
Go ye therefore and teach all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
