As you will read below, Lewis’s intent was not that Aslan and Jesus would be an allegory, rather for it to be a supposal. It’s a beautiful story that can be enjoyed by all ages. If you have not read the series, I highly recommend reading them. If you prefer the visual you can always watch the movie; however, the exciting part of reading is that you can use your own imagination to see Narnia. Aslan is the Jesus is his world! Aslan and Jesus, as explained by Lewis and found at narniweb.com” Supposedly, there’s a supposal Although Lewis makes it clear that “The Chronicles of Narnia” isn’t an allegory, he doesn’t deny that some symbolism was written into the series. But, to understand his approach, you need to recognize that Lewis differentiates alle- gory from something he calls supposal. In a December 1959 letter to a young girl named Sophia Storr, he explains the difference (emphasis mine): I don’t say. ‘Let us represent Christ as Aslan.’ I say, ‘Supposing there was a world like Narnia, and supposing, like ours, it needed redemption, let us imagine what sort of Incarnation and Passion and Resurrection Christ would have there.’ Allegory and supposal aren’t identical devices, according to Lewis, because they deal with what’s real and what’s unreal quite differently. In an allegory, the ideas, concepts, and even people being expressed are true, but the characters are make-believe. They always behave in a way reflective of the underlying con- cepts they’re representing. A supposal is much different; the fictional character becomes “real” within the imaginary world, taking on a life of its own and adapting to the make-believe world as necessary. If, for example, you accept the supposal of Aslan as true, then Lewis says, “He would really have been a physical object in that world as He was in Palestine, and His death on the Stone Table would have been a physical event no less than his death on Calvary.” 
2 Corinthians 5:14-21 “For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.”
Psalm 40:1-5 “I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in him. Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods. Many, Lord my God, are the wonders you have done, the things you planned for us. None can compare with you; were I to speak and tell of your deeds, they would be too many to declare.”

POEMS ‘Five Sonnets’ by C.S.Lewis

Lewis’s series titled “Five Sonnets” in Poems is about bereavement and seems to have been written after Joy’s death. “Read Dante,” Lewis says there, because before Dante was comforted he had to pass down to the frozen center and up the mountain of pain. Lewis ended A Grief Observed with Dante’s words: Por si torno all’ eterna fontana. (For if I become all ‘eternal fontana). Another favorite book of mine by Lewis is “A Grief Observed,” I’ve read it twice since my mom passed away in 2012 and it brings me comfort each time. We all find ways that best help us navigate grief and mine was and is writing my thoughts down. By writing my thoughts down I have gained clarity and through that knowledge I found a way to not be angry that my mom was gone. I’ve since realized that as long as she is alive in my heart she hasn’t really left at all. I speak her name often and smile while reliving moments with her in my mind. Her laugh, her smile, her heart, her respect for family and her charity, how she lived and loved out loud. 

The Day
The day I never wanted to come

That day has come and gone

The imagined loss and emptiness

Those feelings have settled in

A void that cannot be filled 

How does one grieve such a loss

Not with time, family or friends

Such a loss with open wounds 

Wounds that are felt more than seen

Pain that blocks all healing

Mourning that feels no relief

Just one more hug or embrace

One more I love you

No one can ease the pains of life

Nothing like a mothers love

Mom, I miss you 

I miss you everyday.

Revelation 3:19-22 “Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne. Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” 

The passage below from the Psalm is one of history, the history of the Israelites and their sin, time and time again, God did not destroy them; for the true reason is, He is full of compassion.

Psalm 78:23-39 “Yet he gave a command to the skies above and opened the doors of the heavens; he rained down manna for the people to eat, he gave them the grain of heaven. Human beings ate the bread of angels; he sent them all the food they could eat. He let loose the east wind from the heavens and by his power made the south wind blow. He rained meat down on them like dust, birds like sand on the seashore. He made them come down inside their camp, all around their tents. They ate till they were gorged— he had given them what they craved. But before they turned from what they craved, even while the food was still in their mouths, God’s anger rose against them; he put to death the sturdiest among them, cutting down the young men of Israel. In spite of all this, they kept on sinning; in spite of his wonders, they did not believe. So he ended their days in futility and their years in terror. Whenever God slew them, they would seek him; they eagerly turned to him again. They remembered that God was their Rock, that God Most High was their Redeemer. But then they would flatter him with their mouths, lying to him with their tongues; their hearts were not loyal to him, they were not faithful to his covenant. Yet he was merciful; he forgave their iniquities and did not destroy them. Time after time he restrained his anger and did not stir up his full wrath. He remembered that they were but flesh, a passing breeze that does not return.”
