I
like that Lewis explains his belief through Christ and not God. Christ was God’s
human form and therefore people were able to see him, but to really see the glory
of Christ would be like looking directly into the sun; the more you stared the
less you could actually see. I think the same goes for Aslan in the Chronicles
of Narnia. There is so much that we are unable to know about Aslan; where he
comes from and why he does the things that he does; but we know that he loves
all that he comes in contact with and all those he knows of but will never see.
The myth of Aslan is something that endured throughout all seven books and yet
only a select few were able to experience the presence of Aslan. His influence
was what endured and I think that is similar to what Lewis believes about
Christ. My understanding comes from Lewis’ myth.
