The parallels between him and Christ are ever present throughout his journey. He was publicly shamed, just as Jesus was. He was tempted by the damsel who offered him lodging, just like Jesus was tempted by the devil. He is able to open a tomb that no one else can, saving the captives of the land of Gorre, in parallel with the resurrection of Jesus and his salvation to the captives of sin. Lancelot was not the best knight in the kingdom, however, his actions proved him worthy of the admiration that he received from those he met. His coming was even prophesied – just like the Messiah. Jesus was not of high status, His earthly father was a carpenter, but his actions allowed others to see Him for who He truly was and thus worshipped
