At the center of the narrative is a boy called Scarboy, so called because of the burn mark on his face given to him by the evil enchanter’s henchmen when he was a child, who encounters the true king and joins the resistance against the evil enchanter. The whole story is an extended allegory of the broken world we live in and the true king’s plan to one day redeem his people. It would be gross perversion of the passage to urge this indefeasible birthright on the ground of a few occasional flashes of conscious assurance and without any recognition of all the terms of the relation.There is a somewhat obscure Christian book trilogy for kids called Tales of the Kingdom by David and Karen Mains. “They shall not perish forever, and no one shall pluck them out of my hand” = an authoritative assurance, and its pledge or justification.Ĭhrist’s knowledge of the sheep corresponds with their recognition of his supreme claims theft active trust is rewarded by his greatest gift their indefeasible birthright is guaranteed by his limitless authority and power to protect them.

He described the gracious disposition and happy state of his sheep they heard and believed his word, followed him as his faithful disciples, and none of them should perish for the Son and the Father were one.
