When griping grief the heart doth wound,
and doleful dumps the mind opresses,
then music, with her silver sound,
with speedy help doth lend redress.
-William Shakespeare
Chronicles of Narnia
I see so many people flocking to watch Chronicles of Narnia, but I doubt they know the film is actually based on the story of Jesus Christ.
I watched the film and I loved it. It just shows so clearly the battle between good and evil, God and Satan.
The character of the White Witch (Satan) is brought out so well in the film. First she gives you what you want. The temporary satisfaction of life, and temptation of material possesions. Then when she finds no use for you, she destroys you.
But how great it is to know, there is someone out there, willing to pay for our sins, to drag us out of darkness, so that we need not perish in darkness but have the chance to start anew !! Aslan the lion (Jesus) offered his own life instead to the White Witch, so that Edmund need not pay for the sin he committed.
The scene where Aslan made his way up the steps to the top of the stone table, depicted Jesus' walk up the hill where He was to be cruxified. Aslan was mocked at, punched and kicked, humiliated and shamed by the White Witch's followers, until he was sacrificed. As was Jesus Christ.
My beloved friends, if your heart wrenched when you watched the film and saw Aslan being humiliated and sacrificed, you could feel the same way for Jesus our Saviour too. My heart broke doubly, only because it wasn't the lion I saw on the screen. It was Jesus I saw.
But as it will be, Aslan rose from the dead !! He even brought the dead back to life with his mighty breath. What awesome power our God has.
Brothers and Sisters, if you saw the show, imagine it was Jesus for a moment. You'd come to believe, that He is our one and only King. Afterall, the books the movie was based on was written about Jesus Christ.
The battles and killings that happened on screen, aren't actually battles and killings. It is only represented by the spiritual warfare between good and evil. Aslan presented the sword and shield to Peter and they represented Truth and Hope. If we were to hold on to these so tightly in our spiritual battles, as did Peter in his battle against the White Witch's army, we will triumph over the evil. Jesus has given each and everyone of us our "sword and shield". We only need to grab on tightly and use them well.
Hail the Lion of Judah !!
