On a Witch, an Awful Night and a Wonderful Lion

“‘Muzzle him!’ said the Witch. And even now, as they worked about his face putting on the muzzle, one bite from his jaws would have cost two or three of them their hands. But he never moved.”

In the Narnia series book, The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis, the great Lion, Aslan, offers his life in place of the boy, Edmund. And so he is sheared of his hair…

It is disarming to reflect upon what Jesus did to save us from our sins. It ought to be. (It was meant to be.) It was awful, despicable what the Savior had to endure in our place. He didn’t deserve to be treated like that. We did. We are the sinners. We are the ones who’ve turned our backs on God and shaken our fists at Him (in our sin).
