at the center of the universe—is . . . a mangled lamb. The Lion of Judah is a mangled lamb. The King of the universe limps to his throne a mangled lamb. Surely there must be some mistake. But as John watches, all of heaven falls down around him, falls down before the mangled lamb, and they begin worshiping him. At the very center of the universe, there is the worship of a mangled lamb.
