"Lucy said, "We're so afraid of being sent away, Aslan. And you have sent us back into our own world so often."
"No fear of that," said Aslan. "Have you not guessed?"
Their hearts leaped and a wild hope rose within them.
"There was a real railway accident," said Aslan softly. "Your father and mother and all of you are - as you used to call it in the Shadow-Lands - dead. The term is over: the holidays have begun. The dream is ended: this is the morning."
And as He spoke He no longer looked to them like a lion; but the things that began to happen after that were so great and beautiful that I cannot write them. And for us this is the end of all the stories, and we can most truly say that they all lived happily ever after. But for them it was only the beginning of the real story. All their life in this world and all their adventures in Narnia had only been the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story, which goes on for ever: in which every chapter is better than the one before."
The above is excerpted from The Last Battle by C. S. Lewis, which is the very last book in the series "The Chronicles of Narnia."
To us, and many others, the above is a real picture of life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Our hope is built on nothing less, than Jesus' blood and righteousness. And because of what He did for us at the cross, we get to enter that promised land that no eye has seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the glories God has prepared for those that love Him! We cried with great joy as we read it. We also cried from a sad heart that our great adventure with the Narnians was over. So, we HAD to have this special Narnian party where Brianna could play her favorite Queen Lucy, and Bryce could play the brave "King Peter".
If you have not yet read the series, you MUST!
