Pilgrim #9: Christian now has a healthy Word +Spirit balance to not only protect, but guide him to deliverance + his true destination. He ran along the Wall of Salvation as fast as he could with his burden still weighing on him "and on that place stood a Cross! + and a little below, a Sepulchre. Just as Christian came up, his burden loosed from off his shoulders, and fell from off his back; and began to tumble, and so continued to do, till it came to the mouth of the Sepulchre, where it fell in, and I saw it no more.' And so Bunyan simply+powerfully describes Christian's experience : ONLY ONE WAY to be free of sin = The Cross of Jesus! All other religion/philosophy are nothing more than man's own futile efforts. The Cross is nothing less than God's Love breaking through where all else fails. The simple Gospel: Believe + Receive! Jesus alone rolls burdens into graves.. till you see them no more! It's true... it works... I know... by experience!
