Easter in Narnia He will swallow up death forever. The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove the disgrace of his people from all the earth. The Lord has spoken. - Isaiah 25:8 In C.S. Lewis' The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, the lion, Aslan, offers himself as a sacrifice for a little boy—a traitor named Edmund. When the lion rises from the dead he says: ". . . [the Witch's] knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back, into the stillness and the darkness before Time dawned, she would have read there a different incantation. She would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor's stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward." |
