I love John Bunyan's,' Pilgrim's Progress' ,he was reckoned to be a wonderful preacher,of course he spent a great deal of time in prison for that very thing,but he never gave up.He was a man with a wonderful imagination. The people in' Pilgrims Progress', have all sorts of names,here are a few of them, Mr Worldly Wiseman ,Mr Pickthank,Mr Blindman,Mr Malace, Mr High-mind,Mr No-good,all these names depict people of the world,their names tells you everything about them.The main character is Christian,who fled from the city of destruction, and was directed by Evangelist ,to the place were the heavy load he was carrying could be removed..There were those who tried to stop him,his wife and children,cried to him ,to return,but he didn't ,he kept on going.Two of his neighbours ran after him,their names were,Obstinate, Pliable,they caught up with him and sought to reason with him, but Christian reminded them that they lived in the city of destruction,he told them he sought an endless kingdom,Obstinate left, but Pliable stayed on,and Christian spoke to him of Heaven,that place where there would be no more crying ,for the owner of that place will wipe all tears from our eyes. They set off but because of the the difficulties they experienced Pliable went back,but Christian went on,he met other difficulties,but eventually he came to a cross,and as its shadow fell across him,the burden on his back fell off,his sins had been forgiven.He was overwhelmed with joy ,and he spoke,''Blest cross,blest sepulchre,blest rather be,the man that there was put to shame for me''. If you are not a Christian ,you are living in the city of destruction,flee from the wrath to come,as it sure will,flee to Jesus who died on the cross that you may be forgiven, trust Him as your Saviour.
