Sexual abuse is somewhat the secret sin of the church. In turn, many are hurting and remain silent. The sexually abused often blame themselves. However, there is hope in Jesus Christ. Let's look at an Old Testament story of sexual abuse and the redemption that follows.

Judges describes the deteriorating cycle of the Israelites following Joshua’s death. Because of idolatry, the Israelites were oppressed by the enemies. When they repented, God raised up judges to deliver them. Soon they forgot and fell into evil, and the vicious cycle continued. Even today, leaders are sent to deliver us but a true salvation takes place only when our hearts are obedient to the one King who remains forever.
