Once again, a writer of old has portrayed a vivid account of a godly father who imparts the gospel to his son. This marvelous work reflects the era of the Reformation and those who gave their lives, suffering for the gospel that only Christ could forgive sins … a message contrary to the “church” at this time. Beyond this, another message is woven into this story – that of the Savior’s call on a life, even that of a child.
