Popular magazines used to carry psychological tests asking readers if they were to become an animal what animal would they want to be. No matter what animal one chooses, the test results show some flaw in your character. As a youth, I decided a prudent answer would be lamb because a lamb signified Jesus, and I didn’t think anybody could criticize that. I was very surprised to realize I was wrong.
So in my mature years, I decided a rat would be better because, if modern society is a sinking ship, a rat has enough sense to bail out. But now, in my senior years, I realize that if Jesus bailed out on us, we would all sink. So, in deference to Jesus, I think a lamb is a better answer.
