Thoughts on “The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe”
12/10/2016
One scene of this book that I relate to/enjoy is in chapter seventeen when Lucy gives her wounded brother Edmund some of the healing cordial that Father Christmas has given to her earlier. After she gives Edmund a couple of drops, Aslan reminds Lucy that there are other wounded people that need help; Lucy’s responds to Aslan saying” Yes I know, wait a minute.” After Lucy says this, Aslan corrects Lucy and she apologizes (197). This scene so funny to me! Lucy, Daughter of Eve, tells Aslan, Savior and King, to “wait a minute.” I appreciate that Lewis but this in here because this reminds me so much of how Christians (including myself) sometimes very ridiculously act in relation to God. It is such a strange and wonderful thing to me that God chooses to love people, regardless of how absurd we are sometimes. He just deserves to be listened to and joyfully obeyed immediately, and we just don’t do this but he chooses to forgive us and love us anyway---this is wild to me and I love it.
