What we see in Judges is the people of God failing to drive out the darkness around them. That darkness begins to influence them in a way that drives them away from God. Over time, people began to do what was right in their own eyes, and they lived their lives as though God was not their king. Broken people, known as judges, lead them on a cycle of faithfulness and failed commitment to God. In the end, the story points us to the reality that all of God’s people need a greater Judge, a greater Savior.
