S. Lewis' <em>Chronicles of Narnia</em> recently? It is filled with symbolism. Lewis leads his readers on a journey of the imagination while planting seeds of Christian truths. The movie, <em>The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe </em>will be released in a week.<br /><br />Advent is widely celebrated across Christian traditions. Advent is a journey toward Bethlehem. The journey prepares one for the "coming of Christ" at Christmas. The sighting of the Messiah changed the world.<br /><br />But there are skeptics, is this "Nativity Christmas" a nice story or is it true? What of the Bethlehem journey is more believable than a journey into Narnia? How can we tell the Christian story, which is also filled with symbolism, as real and true?<br /><br />Advent is a journey of the heart. It is the opening of our minds to new discoveries -to new meaning - to new pathways so as to discover a glimpse--the presence of the Messiah in our own lives. What a gift!<br /><br />Your thoughts?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19428895-113329832561961359?l=thechapeldoor.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>TheChaphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08859820535466869934noreply@blogger.com
