Journey to the city of the King, an adaptation of John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress, adapted and told by Pete Woodcock.
4. The great battle
Christian encounters Apollyon, a terrifying enemy who claims ownership over him and accuses him of past failures. Though frightened, Christian stands firm, remembering he belongs to the King. A fierce battle follows, and Christian is badly wounded and nearly defeated. When all seems lost, he remembers the King’s promises and uses the sword of God’s Word to strike back, declaring his faith. Apollyon flees, defeated. Christian is healed and continues through a dark valley filled with doubt and fear. By speaking truth and trusting the King, he learns to overcome lies and discouragement. This part highlights spiritual warfare and the power of faith and perseverance.
