Moment of Meditation: From Narnia (Acts 17:28)

Original Broadcast: June 2008
Month Theme: Chronicles of Narnia
In Him we live and move and have our being.
(Acts 17:28)
C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia are a great exposition of the Gospel story set in a different world with different sets of circumstances. Once you look past the idea of Talking Beasts and magic, you see that these "children's stories" have much greater and broader meaning.
One of my Seminary professors is very adamant about using non-biblical literature in Bible studies and sermons. Although I have not done so much in sermons, I thought this would be a great time to focus our devotional thoughts on these great works of literature and see what Lewis had in mind for us to learn about our Savior Jesus.
St. Paul understood this as he even used pagan poets in his preaching depending upon the audience before him. Because, as our quote from Epimenides of Crete explains, everything relates back to God in some fashion. So I hope you enjoy these meditations from Narnia. Amen.
