Pilgrim's Progress

As Christian went on his way he received advice from a confident traveller.
“Hello young man,” called Know-it–all Worldly Wiseman.

I see you have a heavy burden on your back!”

“Yes,” he groaned “But no matter how hard I try, I just can’t get it off!”

Don’t worry,” smiled Mr Worldly Wiseman my friend, Mr. Legality, is an expert at removing burdens.

But Christian saw that Mr. Legality’s house, was on top of a rocky mountain.
He was afraid the rocks might fall on his head.

Just in time Mr. Evangelist came by and showed Christian the way to the Wicket Gate.
As Christian ran to the Wicket Gate someone began shooting arrows at him from a near by castle.

It was the wicked Prince Beelzebub.

“Let me in!” he cried.
The gatekeeper, Mr Goodwill, threw open the door and hurried Christian inside.

Christian was safe-for a while at least.

Sunday School: More of Pilgrim

Friends often discourage us from trying to make progress in our Christian experience and if we take too much notice of others opinions and feel sorry for ourselves we will wallow in a bog of self pity. This was Christian's experience.

Share this truth with your Sunday School and Bible Study scholars.

Pilgrims Progress - the story...
Christian was running toward the wicket gate to find the way to the Heavenly city.

He had a burden of worry and trouble on his back.

Christian’s friends called to him to come back but he knew he must find the King.

On his way to the gate Christian slipped.

SPLOOSH! He fell into a big muddy swamp.
“Oooh, save me! He cried. “I’m sinking!”
A man named Help rescued Christian.
Then Christian went on his way once again.

Pilgrims Progress
The story John Bunyan wrote on scraps of paper while he spent years in prison for telling people about Jesus.

This story that John wrote was really a story about himself.
Read about his thoughts. He was Christian in the story

Christian felt so lonely and sad.

He read his Bible and searched for the way.
That’s when he met Evangelist.

“What shall I do?” he asked.

“No one can help me.

My friends laugh at me.

They call me back.
Please help me.”

Evangelist pointed the way to the wicket gate.

“ Go straight there, Knock, and you will be told what to do.”
Christian could just see a tiny door in a large gate.
He started to run as fast as his burden would let him.

He would never give up now.

There had to be an answer to this terrible problem.

The first people lived in a garden.
It was called the Garden of Eden.
There were trees pleasing
to the eye and good for food.

God saw that it was very good but…
people spoiled it

Instead of peace... they would have trouble.
Instead of love ...they would be selfish.
Instead of health ... sickness would come.
Instead of life forever ... death would come

Because they had chosen Satan’s way;
They had put Satan before God
they lost the covering of God’s glorious presence about them.

There were two special trees in the middle of the beautiful garden;
* the tree of life and
* the tree of the knowledge
of good and evil.


God told Adam and Eve that they could eat from any tree in the garden except The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.

If they ate of this tree they would die.

Satan disguised as a snake said to Eve, “You will not die.’’

He was lying

So Eve ate the fruit and gave some to
Adam and he ate it.

They immediately knew something
bad had happened.

They felt naked and they sewed clothes for themselves.

They were ashamed and hid from God.

God knew what they had done.

Because they had chosen Satan’s way;
They had put Satan before God.
They lost the covering of God’s glorious presence about them.

Grazing on grass, docile as a cow—

16Just look at the strength of his back,
the powerful muscles of his belly.

17His tail sways like a cedar in the wind;
his huge legs are like beech trees.

18His skeleton is made of steel,
every bone in his body hard as steel.

19Most magnificent of all my creatures,
but I still lead him around like a lamb!

20The grass-covered hills serve him meals,
while field mice frolic in his shadow.

21He takes afternoon naps under shade trees,
cools himself in the reedy swamps,

22Lazily cool in the leafy shadows
as the breeze moves through the willows.

23And when the river rages he doesn’t budge,
stolid and unperturbed even when the river goes wild.

24But you’d never want him for a pet—

Devotions: John Bunyan's Achievements

Share with the Sunday School, Kids Club and Bible Study young people the wonderful result from John's faithfulness.

The Declaration of Independence

At the time John became a Christian it was forbidden to preach about Jesus in the streets.

John did it anyway and he went to prison for this.

John Bunyan wrote a story about himself on scraps of paper while he was a prisoner.

He called the story ‘Pilgrims Progress.’

The book became very famous and it is now regarded as a classic.

You might have read it or heard about it.
He was imprisoned for twelve years.

John’s wife sold home-made lace and John made shoe laces in prison.
For good behaviour and because he was trusted by the jailors he was allowed to sell the laces.
while chained to the outside of the prison walls.
He was free in 1672.

The law was changed so people could speak about Jesus outside a church.

Notice: The law of England was changed because John was faithful to Jesus.

Devotions: John Bunyan

Share this information with your Sunday School, Bible Study and Kids Club about John Bunyan as he grew into adulthood.

The law of England was changed because John found Jesus

John Bunyan (1628-1688) from Bedford England

He had often been in trouble as a boy for poaching - catching fish and rabbits on other peoples property.
But then John's heart was changed.

The wild reckless boy became a determined follower of Jesus.

Instead of his work as a tinker (mender of pots and pans) he became an author of a famous book.

Instead of a boisterous personality he became a magnetic preacher.

It happened when John’s wife taught him to read the Bible and he accepted Jesus as his friend.

John became a Christian.

He often told others about Jesus which in those days was against the law.
John went to Bedford prison for this.

The Story of John Bunyan 1628—1688

John lived in Bedfordshire - England

John Bunyan was an outstanding person.
Outstanding because he had red hair; he was athletic and had a reputation for reckless behaviour and swearing.

In fact most people did not want John to have anything to do with their children.

He had one sister and two brothers but not really any friends.

Although John went to school for a while, he didn’t learn much.
He was mostly good at stealing fruit and things .
He would climb the fence to private property and hope it wasn’t noticed.

He would break the law by catching fish and hunting rabbits and other small birds and animals.
Then his conscience would worry him when he lay awake at night thinking.

He wondered what God would do with him.

But God had a big plan for John.

When he married his wife taught him to read from her Bible.

Then…. God did it!

John became outstandingly brave and bold -a champion for God.

God made him outstandingly brave.
