Legacy Part 2




What a legacy that C.S. Lewis has with the release of Narnia in the movie theatres! I'm so glad that people waited this long to put out the movie so it could done well with the help of computers. I felt like a little kid in a dream world with all of those creautres. The Minotaur and Centaurs were so cool! As a little kid I would dream of creatures and battles like that. I wonder what C.S. Lewis would have thought if he were alive and in the movie theatre watching his supposed other world on the big screen. This movie did one of the best jobs in portraying the selfless sacrifice of Aslan who was all powerful for a bratty little kid who didn't deserve someone else to pay the price for his misdeeds. It's the same way that you and I don't deserve the sacrifice that Jesus made for our many misdeeds! C.S. Lewis has a great legacy that continues to grow. He has many more books that are worth reading.
One little thing that I caught in the book and movie was when the professor questioned the older Peter and Susan why they didn't believe Lucy's story!
The professor asked questions to establish that Lucy wasn't a Liar & she wasn't a Lunatic. Therefore she must be telling the truth. C.S. Lewis established the same thing about Jesus in his writings.
If Jesus knew He wasn't the Son of God then he was a liar. If Jesus made all these great teachings then he couldn't have been delusional. If he wasn't a Liar and he wasn't a Lunatic then he must have been tellng the truth and Jesus must be Lord!
