Messages On Lent And Easter Themes
On his pilgrimage to the Celestial City, in John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress, Faithful is overtaken by a man who mauls and batters him mercilessly. He is unable to resist his strength, so he pleads with him to have mercy upon him. But the strong man answers, "I know not how to show mercy," and knocks him down again.
Later, in relating this experience to Christian, Faithful says, "He had doubtless made an end of me, but that one came by and bid him forbear."
