“He existed before everything else began, and he holds all creation together.” Colossians 1:17
• At a dark time in our family’s life, I was introduced to The Chronicles of Narnia, by C. S. Lewis. These seven books have truly hooked me. Their spiritual truths play hide-and-seek with the reader but are great treasures to find. The Chronicles are all about four children who take excursions into the enchanted land of Narnia, where they meet Aslan, the golden lion, a symbol of Christ. In Book 2, Lucy makes her second visit to Narnia, where she meets Aslan again: “Aslan, you’re bigger.” “That is because you are older, little one,” Aslan answers. “Not because you are?” asks Lucy. “I am not. But every year you grow, you will find me bigger.” What a wonderful insight! As we grow up in Christ, our God will be bigger to us. Not because we more fully comprehend His true “size”; rather, we more clearly recognize the borderless expanse of His infinite being. We stand in awe of all God is.
