At that moment they heard from behind them a loud noise as if a giant had broken a giant’s place. . . . The Stone Table was broken into two pieces by a great crack that ran down it from end to end; and there was no Aslan. . . . There, shining in the sunrise, larger than they had seen him before, shaking his mane (for it had apparently grown again) stood Aslan himself. —C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?” And looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back—it was very large. —Mark‬ ‭16‬:‭2‬-‭4‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Happy Easter from The Name of Aslan!

“If I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world.” ― C.S. Lewis

Wishing everyone a very happy Narnia day!!

Anniversary of C. S. Lewis’s death, Nov. 22, 1963

“Give up your self, and you will find your real self. Lose your life and you will save it. Submit to death, death of your ambitions and favourite wishes every day and death of your whole body in the end: submit with every fibre of your being, and you will find eternal life. Keep back nothing. Nothing that you have not given away will ever be really yours. Nothing in you that has not died will ever be raised from the dead. Look for yourself, and you will find in the long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin, and decay. But look for Christ and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in.” —C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

On this day in 1963, beloved author and theologian C.S. Lewis stepped out from this world into eternity. It was a day he had doubtless imagined his whole Christian life, and it was a concept that appeared in countless works of his.

As reflected in his autobiography Surprised By Joy, after wandering from Christianity for many years, Lewis discovered that the longing that had overtaken him his whole life (which he called Joy) was not an end in itself, nor were any of the things of this world. Every pleasure, he realized, pointed him to God and to the world to come—and his heart’s desire could be met only with God Himself.

May we all strive to live like Lewis, with eternity in view and heaven in our mind’s eye.

James 1:17 tells us, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change” (ESV). What a gift Narnia has been for so many of us!

On this day, amidst our gifts, whether from family, friends, or Father Christmas for the first time in 100 years, may we never forget where all gifts come from—and the best Gift of all, our Savior, Jesus.

Merry Christmas from all of us here at TNOA!
