This King...

He was a King like no other.

He came to do battle - alone.

No mighty armies to accompany him.

No one else could fight this skirmish.

He moved in incognito.

Blended in with the crowds.

Slowly passed word around of rescue.

Some believed him.

Others betrayed him.

The battle was to the death.

And yet, in his death, he claimed victory!

He forced himself free of death's hold!

Gaining freedom for his people!

And they loved him for it with utter devotion.

Forever.
