Prince Caspian

Saw this on Saturday - I really LOVED it! More like Lord of the Rings. I highly recommend it!

I know it got some bad press for not following the book exactly. But what movie, in two hours, can follow a book that takes 10 - 15 hours to read? It was also panned for leaving out the central message of faith, but I think it did fine in that respect, too. It was clear to me at least, that the children erred in not having faith in Aslan, initially.

My favorite part involved Aslan conjuring up a river. It became man-like and set about on a path of distruction. At first, I thought, now see, this isn't fair. Aslan can make the water obey. Then I realized what an amaing picture this is of Jesus. After all Matthew 8:27 says, "The men were amazed, and said, 'What kind of a man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?' "

It almost made me tear up to realize that one day, not only will every human bow down to Jesus, but nature as well. Is a river taking the shape of a man and bowing down to Jesus so far fetched?

What an awesome God I serve!
