God,
When I picture Aslan and Jesus Christ standing side by side, I notice both their similarities and differences, which helps me understand things more deeply.
Aslan, from C.S. Lewis’ The Chronicles of Narnia, and Jesus are both wise, loving, and natural leaders. Their authority comes from love, not force. They guide, protect, and care for others, and they both stand for something higher and sacred.
Both of their sacrifices were powerful. They each knew they were going to die, yet they chose to move forward anyway. They believed their deaths had to happen—for something greater, for others. That kind of love feels overwhelming and humbling to me.
But I also see differences.
Aslan, as a lion, feels bold and outward. His leadership can be loud, like a roar—strong and impossible to ignore. There is a visible, almost overwhelming power in him.
Jesus, being human, feels quieter. Not weak, never meek, but calm and steady. His leadership is more subdued, more gentle, but still deeply powerful. He doesn’t need to raise His voice to be heard.
One feels like thunder, and the other feels like stillness.
And both feel sacred to me in their own way.
Thank You for Your, Mother Mary's, and Your Son's sacrifice for us.
Thank You for making my mind work the way it does.
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit;
As above, so below,
Amen/Blessed be.
Smooches and think Tink.
