„He
raised it, and it grew up with him and his children. It shared
his food, drank from his cup and even slept in his arms. It was
like a daughter to him.” (2Samuel 12,4)
How
do we teach our children to learn about the created world? How do
they relate to animals and flowers? How can the bringing-up affect
the future? In the parable the poor man doesn’t have children
instead of domestic animals, but he brings up his lamb with his
children. It is a symbolical situation, where the lamb gives evidence
about the deepest and most intimate relationship with creation. The
animals are always reflect to this relationship, which is between God
and people, people and people, whether it is caduceus, or loving, or
alienated relationship. We can read about meaningful animals in the
Bible Stories (donkey, lamb, ox, pigeon), and God created them
according to their breed before people, to follow help and feed the
people. (1Moz 1,25) The lamb is in a common lot with the poor man’s
family. win a share in poverty, dining, destitution and in their
delight, as
well as in the New Testament the Lamb Of God who lives in
commensalism with children, the people who live on the edge of
society who has been rejected and despised. The question is that the
church, as the body of Christ embedded in society, as an endurer in a
cruel and unjust structure, throw in with the vulnerable and poor
people? Can we make a sacrifice in this community?
