Pros And Cons Of Aslan

“Aslan is not safe, but he is good,” (Lewis, 1994, P.48) I think this quote is appropriate for Aslan as well as Christ. Aslan comes to bring judgement on the white witch and tear her kingdom down. The bible says."Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.” (Matthew 10:34). Aslan is not safe as well as Christ because both will bring the powers of the world to submission and will reestablish their reign over the enemy. “For example, Lewis battle scenes tend to emphasize the Importance of boldness and bravery in personal combat.” (McGrath, 1998, P, 303) The problem in Narnia is that the witch thinks she has the supreme rule, and that everyone should be under her spell. “The white

When Edmund and the witch meet again, after the first meeting she gives Edmund bread made of stone. The enemy did the same with humans or as the story puts its sons and daughters of Adam and Eve.

This would require being good but also it would put Aslan at risk. “And continued the witch, the human creature is mine. His life is forfeit to me. His blood is my property.” (lewis, 1994,, P. 139). This had to do with a spell that the white witch had in Narnia. Yet Aslan Knew of a deeper meaning behind the force of evil. “He knows the deep magic better than that. He knows that unless I have blood as the law says all Narnia will be overturned and perish in fire and water.” (Lewis, 1994, P. 140). Also, in comparison there must be a sacrifice for human sin. In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.” (Hebrews 9:22) (NIV). This makes both Aslan and Christ, not safe but good because they become the ransom for the sons and daughters of Adam and eve if you will. “For our sake he made him be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
