A Different Name

Last night I had the pleasure of going to see the new Narnia movie with a few close friends. I would strongly recommend this film to anyone reading. It was very, very good! Lots of actions interspersed with some amazing character development and deep spiritual truths that you would expect with a film based on a CS Lewis book. Personally, I found God speaking to me through this film. It has been a difficult week being stuck in the house ill and it was lovely to feel God reaching out to me after all of this.

One of the most memorable bits for me is something Aslan says at the end:-

Lucy asks Aslan if they'll see him again before they go back to their normal lives at the end to which Aslan replies that he is with them also in their world but he has a different name there.

Being a Christian, CS Lewis wrote the character of Aslan to represent God.

So many people are missing the presence of God in their lives today. No human being is better than another, we have all made our mistakes, had our triumphs and good times also. But how much easier would the hard times be if you knew the all powerful, omnipresent Lord God Almighty who calls Himself the 'Light of the World', 'The Holy of Holies' and 'Everlasting Father'?

Jeremiah 29:13 promises that those who seek the Father with all their hearts will find Him.

I'd like to share a well known poem to finish this blog post, Leona Lewis actually sung this poem on one of her albums.

I tried to get the words up on here but for some reason it wouldn't work so follow the link to see the poem. Apologies!
