Lions and Bulls

On the cross, Jesus is surrounded by “strong bulls of Bashan” with mouths that open like the jaws of lions (Psalm 22:12-13, 21).  Why lions and bulls?

Jesus on the cross is one like the Son of Man, triumphing over the beasts.

Jesus on the cross is the temple, flanked by cherubim.
