The Jerusalem Sinner Saved; or, Good News for the Vilest of Men
Transcribed from the 1845 Thomas Nelson edition by David Price
"The Jerusalem Sinner Saved; or, Good News for the Vilest of Men" by John Bunyan is a religious treatise written in the mid-17th century. The work reflects on the theme of redemption, focusing on the idea that even the most wretched sinners can find grace and forgiveness through Christ, with a particular emphasis on the city of Jerusalem as a symbol of spiritual decay and corruption. The opening of this text sets the stage for a deep theological exploration of sin, repentance, and divine mercy. Bunyan references Biblical passages to discuss the nature of Jerusalem, portraying it as a city that once held divine favor but has since become a bastion of sinfulness, having rejected God's truth. He argues that despite its grievous sins, the inhabitants of Jerusalem should be the first to receive the gospel of repentance and forgiveness, demonstrating God’s compassionate desire to save the most lost among us. Through this, Bunyan emphasizes the transformative power of grace and the importance of sharing this message with all who are in need of redemption, regardless of their past transgressions. This summary captures the core themes and messages conveyed in the opening of Bunyan’s work while inviting readers to reflect on their understanding of sin and salvation.
