WEEK TWO of The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe

 

CS Lewis was careful to point out that Aslan the lion is not safe nor tame..."but he is GOOD."          

This was his way of explaining the fact that our God is not some genie in the sky, waiting to grant you any wish. Sometimes we focus way too much on the fact that He is loving, forgiving, gracious, and our best friend--which He is all of that, of course! 

But one must not forget that He is HOLY, PURE, and RIGHTEOUS. He is to be honored and obeyed. Not only that, he abhors sin and is repulsed by it!!

This is why I believe that CS Lewis made certain to say that Aslan is not safe, and he is not tame. He is the King of the woods. 

Because of the ugliness of our sins, a sacrifice had to be made in order for us to be in God's presence. 

"...when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor's stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backwards." (Chapter 15)

THANK YOU, JESUS, for your sacrifice! We worship You!

Enjoy the photos of our kids with Aslan the Lion:

I am SO impressed with their artwork of Aslan! All I did was give them a starting point of his eyebrows, and the guiding lines for the length of his face...they did all of the rest. WOW!!
