Narnia Final Reflection
By: Jacob Duitsman
Aslan and God are alike because they both are extremely nice and forgiving this is shown when Aslan forgave Edmund when he betrayed him. God forgave Jonah even though he ran away and jumped into the ocean. God forgave just like Aslan. “And the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land.”Jonah 2:10 - Jonah prayed and repented. God forgave. Edmund felt terrible and asked for forgiveness and Aslan did forgive him.
Edmund is like Adam, when Adam ate the apple he betrayed God. Edmund betrayed Aslan by telling the witch where Aslan was. The only difference between them is that Edmund didn’t know that he was doing something wrong while Adam was told not to do that. They were both tempted to do certain things. Adam was tempted to eat an apple, while Edmund was tempted in order to bring his family to the which.
Aslan also died when he sacrificed himself for everyone’s life the same as God did when he died on the cross for our sins. They both rose again and saved all. Without this the entire Bible wouldn’t matter and our faith wouldn’t matter. When Aslan died for what he believed in. He saved Edmund which made the prophecy be able to come true, and save Narnia!
I feel that I am like Edmund because I am always being tempted to do the wrong thing just like Edmund was by the witch. We can’t always have our guard up and that’s why we need God.
