Something else from Narnia
Another old post not yet put up here on Xanga.
Recently I was listening to “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” (again) by Focus on the Family Radio Theatre. Quite well done, and very accurate to the book. I highly recommend them.Any way, I was struck by a passing comment made by one of the characters. Eustace Scrubb is on his first journey to Narnia and was a jerk at first but then learns some character and becomes a much better chap by the end of the story. At one point in the story he is turned into a dragon, but the great lion Aslan turns him back into a boy (and that part of the story by itself is worthy of a post) and Eustace goes back to be with the others.
When relating his experience to Edmund, his cousin and a king of Narnia himself, Eustace asks a question about Aslan. (One thing to keep in mind is that Aslan is a picture of Christ.) Edmund seems to know a good bit more about the Lion than Eustace does, so Eustace asks, “Do you know him?” Edmund hesitates, and then responds with a most unexpected and profound answer. “Well…he knows me” says Edmund.
AHH! Pretty cool huh? 
I was struck by the fact that we know so little of the Lord in relation to how much there is to know. Now God certainly allows us to know him better, and develop a strong relationship with him, in that sense of knowing him. He reveals himself to us. But He is vast and infinite, and to say we fully know Him is to be arrogant.
Yet he knows us. He is intimately interested in our lives. He could name every hair on our heads if he wanted to. (Maybe he has.) I’m glad for that. 
To say “I know him” is one thing, but to say “He knows me” throws a whole different and wonderful light on it.
So while I may not really know him that well, he sure knows me. I’m content just to know him a little better, a little more, from here on through eternity.

Wow!! That is powerful. I have listened and read “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” who knows how many times and have never caught that part. That is really cool. Thanks for pointing that out!! Have a good one Jarod! :0)
wow…what a thought…. excellent post! Now you’ve got me thinking… It’s a great idea for a song… I wrote one years ago about me knowing Him or wanting to, but I haven’t really thought of it from this angle much… pondering…. I’ll send you the results.
