I would say it makes a good parable to help us understand. But Jesus is not a lamb and neither can the Spirit of Christ die.
It why He said His flesh profits for nothing. A body of flesh without the spirit essence cannot work, its dead from having the work needed to give of the grace coming from it.. Just believing it could will not.

If our heart doesn't run - then get born-again - believe the gospel of your salvation and God gives us a new heart - created in righteousness and holiness. Then live from that heart that is made new in Christ.
Find out what Christ has already done for us and then His grace through faith will bring about His life in and through us to reflect who we truly are now in Him.
Religion is a very poor substitute for Christ Himself who lives in us. Religion's mindset is always trying to achieve by what they do or don't do - what Christ has already done by His finished work on the cross and resurrection and the fact that we too have died with Him and rose to newness of life.
You are a new creation - not a new evolution. It's time to repent and believe the gospel and have our minds renewed the truth of the realities of the new man in Christ now - joined as one spirit with Him for eternity.

To be a new creation, is not a new body, with a different soul and experience.
But it sounds like this is the story you want to sell.
And the biting, try faith line, so deep and insightful like a wet sponge.
What is discouraging is so many people with such hard hearts, not the fruit of the
Holy Spirit.
