~ The Prince of Love ~

The King and the Prince looked over their kingdom. They longed to bring everyone in the kingdom into the fold. Most of the people did not even know the King and the Prince. An evil ruler had blinded their eyes.

The King and the Prince had a secret plot to thwart the evil ruler's plans. It would require a major sacrifice but would be well worth it in the end.

They were in total agreement and began to put things in play.

The Prince looked around at the opulence and abundance surrounding him and the King. Love was what motivated the Prince to temporarily walk away from all of this.

He knew the momentary loss would be worth it. He could see down the road when He would return to His throne with clouds of followers perfected in love.

With this in mind, the Prince took on the role of one of his subjects and experienced first hand what life on this mortal coil was like.

And what death was like. The pinnacle of their plan was his death. The evil ruler would think he had won but the King and the Prince had an ace up their sleeve.

The Prince held the keys of life and death. His life was not taken from him. He willingly laid it down as a sacrifice to ransom the people who would come to love him in return.

He willingly laid down his life knowing he had the power to take it up again in victory—the ultimate victory where love triumphs over death for all eternity.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Love wins.
