This past week I began a study of the book of Hebrews. The following is the opening quote from R. Kent Hughes' commentary. I love Lewis' Narnia, and this quote seemed to summarize a feeling that has been growing in me of late.
"C.S. Lewis memorably portrayed the growing Chr's experience of an ever-enlarging C. in his Chronicles of Narnia. Lucy, caught up in her spiritual quest, saw the lion Aslan--C.--shining white and huge in the moonlight. In a burst of emotion Lucy rushed to him, burying her face in the rich silkiness of his mane, whereupon the great beast rolled over on his side so that Lucy fell, half-sitting and half-lying between his front paws. He
bent forward and touched her nose with his tongue. His warm breath was all around her. She gazed up into the large wise face.‘Welcome, child,’ he said
‘Aslan,’ said Lucy, ‘you’re bigger.’
'That is because you are older, little one,’ answered he.
‘Not because you are?’
‘I am not. But every year you grow, you will find me
bigger.’”
(C.S. Lewis, Prince Caspian, pp. 122-124)
