With Christmas on the horizon, I thought this famous description of Jesus Christ, through the creative pen of C.S. Lewis would be useful here.  This comes from The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.  Enjoy.

 

“Is – is he a man?” asked Lucy.

 

“Aslan a man?” said Mr. Beaver sternly. “Certainly not. I tell you he is the King of the wood and the son of the great Emperor-beyond-the-sea. Don’t you know who is the King of Beasts? Aslan is a lion – the Lion, the great Lion.”

 

“Ooh!” said Susan, “I’d thought he was a man. Is he – quite safe? I shall feel rather nervous about meeting a lion.”

 

“That you will, dearie, and make no mistake,” said Mrs. Beaver; “if there’s anyone who can appear before Aslan without their knees knocking, they’re either braver than most or else just silly.”

 

“Then he isn’t safe?” asked Lucy.

 

“Safe?” said Mr. Beaver; “don’t you hear what Mrs. Beaver tells you? Who said anything about safe? ‘Course he isn’t safe. But he’s good. He’s the King, I tell you.”

 

Amen and Amen…now into my 50th year of life, I agree with Lewis more than ever before—Jesus is good.
