Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

The story of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight displays honor and loyalty. Sir Gawain could have been known as a coward in his land, but he went in search after a year had went by. On his quest to the Green Chapel, he reached a kingdom where he was invited in by the lord.  He then was tested by the lord’s wife three times. He resisted her charming abilities, but accepted a green girdle. Sir Gawain faced off with the green knight and his neck was grazed by the ax. Despite the promise one year ago, he was allowed his life. The lord and green knight played a double role in Sir Gawain life. This story shows how temptation can come in any form to every man. We as Christians must be strong in our fight again temptation and resist the enemy.
