John Bunyan was born in 1628 near Bedford, England. He was a tinker (maker and mender of utensils). He had little education. He was married to a devout Christian lady who convinced him he was a sinner and needed God in his life. Enthusiastic about his newfound faith, he soon began to preach. He was arrested for preaching without permission from the authorities and was sent to prison in 1660. He was released from prison in 1672 and became pastor of a church. But he was returned to jail in 1675 where he began to write Pilgrim’s Progress.
Like the prophet Jeremiah during the latter part of his ministry, Bunyan was not allowed to preach publicly. Yet he spoke through the written word. The message of his book, a delightful allegory, caused many people to turn from their evil ways so that God might “forgive their iniquity and their sin.”
Speak to me through Your written Word today, Father, and show me sins that must be confessed.
