TechnoratiCaspian: "'I do indeed, Sir. I was wishing that I came of a more honourable lineage.'"
Aslan: "'You come of the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve. And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor in earth. Be content.'"
Caspian bowed.
This is a perfect picture of the attitude we need to have on a daily basis. Yes, we should be proud that we are humans made in God's very own image, but we must also remember that it was our first parents who planted the seeds of every evil and destructive element in our world today. If we are too proud, we will easily fall into sin. If we are too shamed, we will lose sight of the amazing life God has planned out for us.
What life? Well for Caspian, it was a chance to reclaim his rightful place as the King of Narnia. For us, it is a chance to reclaim our world for the one true King of Kings - Jesus Christ.
Let the adventure begin!
Head: What you need to know about this truth
As we grow in our faith, our perception of Christ will grow as well. Because of this, we will also have a better understanding of being made in the image of God, yet still in our sinful state. Finally, we have a calling much like Prince Caspian in our lives to reclaim the world for the King of Kings!
Heart: What you need to feel about this truth
Excited and passionate about fulfilling the amazing mission God has given us.
Hands: What you need to do about this truth
Reclaiming Christ's rightful rule and reign starts and ends with prayer. Take some time this week to pray for God's Kingdom to be advanced in your life, and in the lives of everyone you come across.
