A lion might not look very scary when you see them in cages at the zoo, but if one was prowling around at night then you'd want to quickly run away from it. During the early days of the church, lions were sometimes used to attack Christians in the arena for the amusement of Roman citizens. Even though being thrown to the lions doesn't happen today, there is another lion we all must to be aware of.
