What kind of dog would Jesus have owned? This query comes to mind.
Would it be big or small? Like him, gentle, meek and kind?
I know it would not have been a Rottweiler, for that is my particular breed.
Why not a Rottweiler you say? Let me explain and you will see.
Jesus would not have owned a Rott, though he created and loves each one.
His mission here
would have been delayed, for a Rott would have given it's life for the
Son.
I know that Jesus
would have enjoyed a Rott. Always at his side, never straying far away.
Unlike the Lords disciples. Its devotion would never sway.
It would have kept him warm, sleeping next to him on chilly nights.
Always showing its love for its master, even when things weren't going
right.
It would not question or debate, nor ask for foolish things.
It would only look to the Lord to meet its basic needs.
For the time that the Lord was here, the Rott would have never left his
side.
Even if it had known, that the Lord came here to die.
No a Rott would not have worked, its loyalty and commitment so true.
For that night at Gethsemane, it would not have allowed the mob to get
through.
Without fear it would have fought, lashing at any who would venture forth.
With courage,
strength and determination. It would not have allowed harm to the
Lord.
If the Rott did not die right there then surely at the cross.
Fighting every step of the way, never accepting the battle as being lost.
So together they would have died, up upon that hill.
Jesus and his Rottie, lying so very still.
But Jesus would not allow this, for he was to die alone.
Allowing no one to fight for him. For by his death he would bring
us home.
But if the Rottie died that day, I know that they would not long be apart.
