The “Lion” is dangerous.

God is dangerous.

You don’t believe me. Then why is Jesus called the Lion of the Tribe Judah?

Remember Aslan in The Chronicles of Narnia
Throughout the series, it is stated that Aslan is “not a tame lion”, since, despite his gentle and loving nature, he is powerful and can be dangerous. More interesting info on Aslan on Wikipedia

Following Jesus means to die. I’d say that’s dangerous.

(Matthew 16:24-25 NKJV) Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.”

Lose my life.

Did you ever have one of those friends your mom warned you about? “If you run around with John, you’re going to find yourself in trouble.”

Or maybe you were that kid?

Jesus is like that friend. If you “run with him” (follow him), you will find yourself in trouble.
