Narnia Reflection

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.” Genesis 1:1-3 In the verse God starts forming the world into creation. It is the first day and he creates day and night.

This verse connects to when Aslan sings the world into creation. Both Aslan and God spoke things into being.

Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’ ” “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”” Genesis 3:1-5

In this verse the devil tries to get Adam and Eve to eat the apple.

The devil is in the form of a servant.

I connected this Bible verse to the witch trying to get Edman to go to the castle. The witch tried to trick Edman to go to the castle with a physical gift of Turkish Delight. Just like the devil tried to trick Adam and Eve with an apple. Edmund went to the castle, just like Adam and Eve ate the apple.

“Then one of the Twelve—the one called Judas Iscariot—went to the chief priests and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him over to you?” So they counted out for him thirty pieces of silver. From then on Judas watched for an opportunity to hand him over.” In this verse they are plotting to crucify Jesus. Once Jesus was crucified the curtains tore. The sky turned dark and the earth changed. Jesus made a sacrifice for mankind. He took sin on his shoulders to death.

I connected Jesus’ death to when Aslan dies for Edmund. It was either Aslan or Edmund who had to die. Aslan went to the ston to be slayed. Once he died, the stone shook and caked and Aslan was resurrected just like Jesus.

The character I think I fit in the most with would be Peter. I don’t like being told that I made mistakes. Also, Peter had cared for others and went into harm’s way to save Edmund. Just like Peter, I am not quick to believe things. 

I chose this picture because after all the problems that had happened with these siblings, they were together in the end. Sometimes I can get mad at others and conflicts can occur. I have to be good at overcoming those conflicts, like Peter had to do.
