Clive Staples Lewis and that famous Lion

"And now a very curious thing happened. None of the children knew who Aslan was any more than you do; but the moment the Beaver had spoken [his name] everyone felt quite different.... At the name of Aslan each one of the children felt something jump in its inside. Edmund felt a sensation of mysterious horror. Peter felt suddenly brave and adventurous. Susan felt as if some delicious smell or some delightful strain of music had just floated by her. And Lucy got the feeling you have when you wake up in the morning and realize that it is the beginning of the holidays or the beginning of summer."
C. S. Lewis from The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe (Chapter 7)

It is a widely accepted fact that the Aslan part of this story is one to reflect the sacrifice made by Jesus.

When you think about faith or a belief what do you feel?

When you think about God are you full of love of full of fear of full of loathing?

Are you an Edmund and scared of the unknown?
Are you a Peter and able to take on the world when you couldn't before?
Are you a Susan and experience a feeling unlike ever before?
Or are you a Lucy and full of a special kind of joy?

Or are you - you? With a unique response? One based on previous experiences, maybe with a bit of baggage attached?

We are all different. We aren't expected to be the same. But God is the same; yesterday, today and forever. Don't worry about what God is or isn't but do take a while to think about who you might be.

btw:

For the Jesus geeks here is the verse from Revelations that associates Christ with the Lion of Judah:

Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.” Revelation 5:5
