<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The main protagonist of AMC’s hit show “The Walking Dead”, former Atlanta sheriff Rick Grimes, is someone who I would consider to be a christ figure. By this, I do not necessarily mean he is perfect and without sin like our Lord and Savior, but he is the closest character on the show to this image. We defined a christ figure as a messianic person destined to save humanity. Someone with strong morals, is pure, and is willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good. In the show, Grimes is the leader of a group of survivors who have gone through the few peaks and many valleys of a zombie apocalypse together. While his ultimate goal might not be to find a cure and save all humanity, he has made it clear that he will do whatever it takes to find a safe haven for his group and family and will never leave a member behind. He always factors morality into his decision making process. Whether it is negotiating the trade of resources between his group and another, or what to do with a prisoner from a rebel group, Rick always tries to find the morally right choice and execute it. As far as sacrifices go, Rick is willing to risk it all to help or find members of his group. When the neighborhood complex they were living in becomes infested with zombies, Rick decides to try and lure the horde away from the house the group is held up in so that they can find a route to escape. The zombie apocalypse does not present the easiest moral decisions, but Rick Grimes is willing to do whatever is right in order to protect his group.<\/p>\n
