This of course brings up the question that the world could ask the Church. Where oh Church is the Lion of Judah? you seem to be showing me a barking dog in His place. Very entertaining, but even a child can tell it's not the real thing. Much of the church has bought a dog and put it on display, claiming it is The Christ, The Lion of the Tribe of Judah.
The answer sadly, is that the Church isn't willing to pay the cost of purchasing Christ. Christ is free to us, but costly at the same time. Demanding that we die to self, die to the world.
Truths in the story:
Even little children can tell the difference between a lion looking dog who barks and a lion who roars.
A dog may look similar to a lion, but still recognizes that it is in fact, a dog.
Apparently adults have trouble recognizing the real thing.
If you've never seen the real thing, you might be convinced that a dog is really a lion that's learned to bark.
Having the faith of a child is a valuable possession.
