Before I continure on the topic, I just have to clear this up: Rose Cotton and Rosa Underhill are two different hobbits. One is "Rose" (as in "Rosie") the other is "Rosa" (as in "Rosamunda"). Thank you. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Why do you think that about Sam, Rosa?

The reason Sam is the most Christ-like, in my opinion, is because he is what Christ mostly was: a servant. And he does the things Christ would/did do, but to a lesser degree. Christ carried our burdens/sins, and Sam carried Frodo,(who carried the greater burden, really, but that's not my point). When we can't go on our own will or strength anymore, God picks us up, like Sam did for Frodo. And God/Jesus both have very profound senses of humor like Sam, in lesser degree, has.
There are more, but I'm really tired today and can't think of them all. (These similarities between Christ and Sam are what started my new WWSD? campaign. I don't know what Jesus would do, but I have a pretty good idea what Sam would do. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img])
