The Pilgrim (Christian) was relieved of his burden tonight! Below is the song that Christian sang when his burden came off.
Then Christian gave three leaps of joy, and went on singing:
"Thus far did I come laden with my sin,
Not could aught ease the grief that I was in,
Till I came hither, What a place is this!
Must here be the begining of my bliss?
Must here the burden fall from off my back?
Must here the strings that bound it to me crack?
Blest cross! bles sepulchre! best rather be
The Man that there was put to shame for me!"
Bunyan's picture of C's burden falling off is so clear. Can't you see and feel the relief that he feels when his burden is released and rolls off into the pit?
