I have
been correctly referred to as
"the lamb of God who taketh
away the sins of the world,"
but those who represent the lamb as
blood-stained
do not understand the meaning of the symbol.
Correctly understood, it is a very simple symbol
that speaks of
my innocence.
The lion and the lamb lying down together
symbolize
that strength and innocence are not in conflict,
but naturally
live in peace.
"Blessed
are the pure in heart for they shall see God"
is
another way of saying the same thing.
A pure mind knows the truth
and this is its strength.
It does not confuse destruction with
innocence
because it associates innocence with strength, not with weakness.
