The Hidden Story

This morning at church you might notice the lingering aroma of popcorn, reminding you of our Narnia movie night at the church last night. When the movie came out in theaters, there was a lot of talk on the news about it just being a fantasy and having nothing to do with Christianity. Well, I found an interesting little letter written by C.S. Lewis to a young girl just about a month before his death in 1963. He was answering her letter that asked if there would be any more Narnia books.
The letter reads as follows.

Dear Ruth,
Many thanks for your kind letter, and it was very good of you to write and tell me that you like my books; and what a good letter your write for your age! If you continue to love Jesus, nothing much can go wrong with you, and I hope that you may always do so. I'm so thankful that you realized the "hidden story" in the Narnia books. It is odd, children nearly always do, grown-ups... hardly ever. I'm afraid the Narnia series has come to an end, and am sorry to tell you that you can expect no more. God bless you.

Yours Sincerely,
C.S. Lewis

The truth is it is always good to go to the source. Of course the "hidden story" is the analogy to Jesus Christ having given His life in our place on the Cross. Just as Aslan lays down his life for Edmund, Jesus has paid for our sins at Calvary. Hey today if you are carrying a burden of guilt for your past sins, then come Christ in prayer. He is ready and waiting to forgive you, and He has already paid the penalty for your sin. Have a blessed day.
