God in Narnia

it is better to be late than to be advance- jezreel

sa movie pana, pag advance kay pirated dayun pag late kay downloaded. ako kay sa late wah peke gyapon. bitaw i watched Narnia (the voyage of the dawn treader) last Friday night and i noted the following lines:





1. do not fall into temptation. to defeat the darkness out there you need to defeat the darkness inside yourself- Coriakin

Temptation is real that is why we are warned against it. It is even found in the model prayer “lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil”. In the battlefield remember --John 16:33 Jesus said " I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."



2. Unhand the tail! The great Aslan himself gave me this tail, and no one – I repeat, no one – touches the tail- Reepicheep

If we could only see life the way God intended it to be then respect, love, nourishment, protection and grateful hearts would fill the world. We would not complain at all nor desire to destroy what God called beautiful. A line in the song Trust His Heart goes this way “God is too wise to be mistaken”— He was not wrong that you were born with that physical make-up and you should be thankful with it. The rose’s thorns were put with purpose so is the rat’s tail.

Genesis 1:31 Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good.



3. You cannot take anything out of Narnia Edmund- Caspian as King

Worry has no room when God is in control. Chance is not part of the picture.

1 Cor 10:13No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.
A good reminder that God is King and His will should be done.



4. Extraordinary things only happen to extraordinary people-Reepicheep

My reflection on this is “Let the extraordinary be ordinary”. —we have witnessed extraordinary characters and successes are possible when God is at work, so why don’t we let God work in us and through us every day and for the rest of our lives.



5. you doubt your value, dont run from who you are- Aslan to Lucy

Genesis 1:26 Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;-- so do not forget after whose image you were created and all those who surround you bear the same image.

Note: plural=triune God

Matthew 22: 20 And He said to them, "Whose image and inscription is this?" 21 They said to Him, Caesar's." And He said to them, "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."

What is due to God? our adoration, obedience, love etc.- God’s imprint is on everybody and it implies that we give to any person what is due to God such as love and respect but not those relating to the attributes of being God.



6. when you grow up, you should be just like you- Lucy

If we are to transform that is to be more like Jesus – consider 1Timothy 6:6 Now godliness with contentment is great gain.



7. But there I have another name. You were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there- Aslan

In the book Narnia he is Aslan but in the real world He is God. We learn some of God’s nature in Narnia but He left us the Bible if we desire to fully know His person.


I WILL FIND TIME AND MONEY TO COLLECT ALL THE BOOKS OF NARNIA AND THE FIRST BOOK OF THE LORD OF THE RINGS (fellowship of the ring)


Remember: not because it is good that it is best—between two good things-one of which is God’s will.

1 Corinthians 10: 23 All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but not all things edify. The “all” refers to those which do not cross the boundary.
