Advent is a time of great anticipation as we await the Christ-child entering our world at Christmas. This year, through the imagination of C.S. Lewis and his book The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, join us on Sunday mornings as we uncover the story of the birth of Christ in a new way.

There is a wonderful scene in chapter 16 of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe in which Aslan is instructing all the Narnian creatures where they will go and what they will do in the battle with the White Witch. He says, "Those who are good with their noses must come in front with us lions to smell out where the battle is." A recently de-petrified lion bounds in and among the other warriors exclaiming, "Us Lions. That's what I like about Aslan. No side, no stand-off-ishness. Us Lions. That meant him and me."

In this we hear again the good news of the incarnation. God does not declare humanity too broken or earth too dirty. Nothing is beneath him. God, in Christ, came to earth so that he might also declare, "Us Humans." This is the miracle we celebrate on Christmas Eve: God has become one of us humans.

When the Pevensie children hear Aslan's name for the first time it does different things in each of them, revealing their hearts' truest needs. The names of Christ—"Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace"—do a similar work in us. What are we most waiting for this season?

A thaw has come to Narnia, and with it comes a forerunner of Aslan: Father Christmas bringing gifts to all the Narnian animals, the Sons of Adam, and the Daughters of Eve. The gifts he brings are meant to prepare the Pevensie children for the hard work of following Aslan, who is coming.

Isaiah 35 tells the story of a spring thaw too. Meanwhile, we remember that Christ also had a forerunner in his cousin, John the Baptizer. And in baptism we receive the gifts we need to follow Christ, who is coming.
