My understanding of "Lion Jesus" is that it's more a poke at a character from "The Chronicals of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe". The actual religious text leans more on the Lamb http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamb_of_God
The irony about C.S. Lewis's choice to have a lion play his Jesus role-- Lions in the the Bible don't appear to actually tie in with Jesus, in fact they're mostly refereed to in negative connotations. (http://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Lions)
Especially telling is--
1 Peter 5:8
"Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour."
