Journey to the city of the King, an adaptation of John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress, adapted and told by Pete Woodcock.
3. The King's armour
Free from his burden, Christian travels joyfully until he reaches the Hill of Difficulty. Tempted by easier paths, he chooses the King’s road and presses on, learning that following God is not always easy. After resting unwisely and losing his roll of assurance, Christian must retrace his steps, discovering the cost of carelessness. As night falls, he faces fearsome lions guarding a palace, but learns they are chained and cannot harm him if he stays on the path. Inside, Christian is welcomed and given the King’s armour: truth, faith, salvation, peace, and God’s Word. This part shows how God equips His people for the journey ahead.
