While listening to the classic Christmas song "Frosty the Snowman," I noticed some major similarities that the Frosty has with the story of the Passion of the Christ in the Bible.
The first clue come from the following line:
"Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale they say..."
This comments on how society views Jesus as a "fairy tale."
"...he could laugh and play just the same as you and me."
Similar to the part-human nature of Jesus.
"Frosty the snowman knew the sun was hot that day. So he said, "Let's run and have some fun now before I melt away."
Like Jesus, frosty predicted his own death. The "hot sun" also symbolizes the anger of the Pharisees brewing against Jesus.
Frosty then goes "down to the village" and "led them down the streets of town." These events sound very similar to how Jesus paraded down the streets of Jerusalem along with his followers a bit before his death.
Frosty is then led to a traffic cop, who commands him to stop. This is similar to the guards who arrested Jesus and ordered him to stop his "false preaching."
Finally, Frosty declares that he "[will] be back again someday," which is similar to how Jesus promised to return some time in the future.
I hope you all enjoyed this post.
