Aslan |
Aslan is the lion from: The Chronicles of Narnia: The
Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, by C. S. Lewis. This classic
children’s series was written over 50 years ago, and follows the exploits of
four siblings - Lucy, Edmund, Susan and Peter; who, in World War II England,
enter the world of Narnia via a magical wardrobe while playing
'hide-and-seek' in the home of an elderly professor.
The children discover Narnia to be a land inhabited by talking
beasts, dwarfs, fauns, centaurs and giants. But the land is cursed to
eternal winter by the evil White Witch, Jadis. The children fight to overcome the
witch's powerful hold over Narnia
under the guidance of the
lion, Aslan.
This book contains a direct parallel to the
sacrifice that Jesus Christ made on the Cross at Calvary. Aslan pays the
blood-debt owed to the witch instead of Edmund pouring out his own blood for
his errors. This is due to the fact that Lewis was a Christian, and
believed, like me, that the greatest sacrifice, was the sacrifice of Jesus
on the Cross.
