Narnia Redeemed
Posted: December 27, 2024
The Lion of Luzern calls to mind the sacrifice of Aslan…
Always winter, never Christmas, Narnia had long been cursed.
A frozen land of cold hard hearts prevailed.
But curses can be broken when a sacrifice is made
by a willing victim heartlessly impaled.
The Christ whose birth we honor (much like Aslan) took our place
so that we might be set free from evil’s hold.
That’s why a cross-shaped shadow can be seen upon the child
as the Virgin Mother rocks Him in the cold.
Judah’s Lion boasts a vict’ry. God’s intention is restored
for the price He paid has canceled what we owe.
The baby grown to manhood gave His life, then robbed the grave,
satisfying One from whom all blessings flow.
