“Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, surrounded by a cloud, with a rainbow over his head. His face shone like the sun, and his feet were like pillars of fire. And in his hand was a small scroll that had been opened. He stood with his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land. And he gave a great shout like the roar of a lion. And when he shouted, the seven thunders answered.” 10:1-3
I love when Jesus is portrayed as a lion. Both The Lion King and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe have deep undertones of the gospel. And Jesus is symbolized as a strong, mighty lion who protects his pride with a great roar.
What sort of symbolism of Jesus in books, film or music have really moved you? When you intentionally look for it, you’ll see Him everywhere.
Take time today to look for the way culture points to Jesus.
