Towards the end of the movie: The rat was walking towards Aslan’s country, he threw his sword on the ground and said “I won’t need this anymore”, this was so profound. I was like wow that is awesome. The very thing he had cherished and was good at, he realized he didn’t need it in the new world he was about to enter. This rat knew how to handle himself with the sword; it was like his own right hand.
Can you imagine a world with only good, and no evil, a world where we don’t have to fight and struggle, a world where there is no tears or hurts? A world of perfect love, joy, peace and resting from all toil that causes fatigue. All the natural and spiritual gifts and talents we use in this world are for this world. I kept thinking about when Jesus talks about storing your treasures in heaven. Our relationship with God is what will last, our faith and growth will last, the good work God has been doing in us will endure, and the lives we have touched will endure.
Next, Aslan told Lucy that she was brought to Narnia for a short time so that she would know his name in her real world. Now, this really blew my mind, I was so excited. I almost scream on the airplane as I was watching this. I couldn’t believe it. That was another profound moment. Every knee will bow every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. There is no sweeter name than the name of Jesus. No other name holds so much power and significance.
(Hahhaha woooo hoooo God is awesome. I am a Narnia fan after that last movie. I am actually planning on reading the book now. )
Definitely read the books! Dawn Treader is my favorite and I was disappointed by how much they left out. But start at the beginning--with The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. You want symbolism? You've got it!
