FYI – I am not a movie buff.  I only see a handful of movies a year, and that includes DVD.  So what do you look for when you’re watching a movie hoping to catch “the scene?”  Do you look for special affects?  Do you listen for a funny catch phrase?  Do you look for a good spiritual principle? 

My attention was drawn to this scene that took place in Aslan’s lair (Aslan is the Christ figure in Narnia).  The children were torn between with what they should or should do in a particular situation.  They were torn between what they knew to be right and what their life experience was telling them at the moment.  As their conflict increased the white witch appeared on the scene, interestingly enough, frozen in ice.  She did not have free reign to do what she wished with the children, only to tempt them to choose her ways instead of what they knew to be right.

When the conflict seemed to be almost too much, one of the children smashed the ice, causing the white witch to disappear.  Behind the ice was a portrait of Aslan.  I felt this was a clear picture of what the enemy tries to do.  Our enemy tries to prevent us from seeing Christ.  What we need in the midst of our challenges is Christ and the enemy will do whatever he can to prevent us from seeing Him. 

In case you were wondering . . . I didn’t get the scene right.  He was referring to a special affects seen at the end . . . which was pretty cool.
