“During World War II, London was the site of many bombing raids. Buckingham Palace, the home of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth was a prime target and was hit at least once. Most families who could afford to leave the city left or at least sent their children away. King George VI and Queen Elizabeth chose to stay. The Queen said, ‘The girls will never leave without me, I will never leave without the King, and the King will never leave.’ This example of the king gave enormous encouragement to the working people of London, those who had no choice but to stay through the bombing. The good King does not leave his people, but endures whatever they are enduring alongside them. Jesus was THAT kind of king.”
