Journey to the Celestial City #1. John Bunyan’s “Pilgrim’s Progress” is the #1 best-selling book of all time after the Bible. It starts out with a man undone and wrought with grief over his condition, but he knows not what it is that has brought this feeling upon himself. Indeed, the man has a great and heavy burden on his back. Later, he will discover it’s the very issue that’s put him in such an upset state. Have you ever felt an unease about your existence? It’s a primary way that God uses to get through to a person. It’s a primary way through which God speaks. Could He be speaking to you at this very moment? Could He be speaking to you about the burden you’re carrying? “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28) More to come in the next blog post. Check back soon. (To read this entire blog post series, scroll down to “Pilgrim’s Progress Series” in the left sidebar.) pp 1
