‘Simon . . . feed my sheep.’ When? After denying his Savior.

‘He slew at his death more than he slew in his life.’ When? After Samson’s greatest humiliation.

Their lapses were inexcusable. Their ministries were desecrated. Yet they refused to dwell in defeat. They were failures, but in God they were overcomers. Grasping God’s hand of forgiveness, they clambered to new heights for the glory of the One who washed them clean.
