I saw "The Chronicles of Narnia" today and, aside from a few slow points, was very please with the movie. The parts I expected to be moved by didn't disappoint. The Redemption of Edmund and the Stone Table scenes were especially moving. I was however pleasantly surprised by the way the movie portrayed the four children, especially Peter, Susan and Lucy. As I watched the movie and now have had more time to think about it, I see in them a picture of 3 different types of faith or ways of living out faith. Susan's "faith" is one based on facts. She must see to believe. Always doubting and in a way, a little too grown up. Scared to take the next step until there is concrete evidence that the floor will be there when she does. Peter's faith is one that wants to risk and wants to act courageously but always stops short. He wants so badly to be named among those that have risked much and have triumphed but his lack of belief and lack of courage hold him back. Then there is Lucy...full of faith, wonder and belief. And it was these qualitites that lead her to be the one to discover Narnia. She isn't scared to risk belittlement by her older siblings in order to have them join her in experiencing Narnia. Thankfully there was redemtion for both Susan and Peter's faith...Susan believed and Peter conquered. But for Lucy, her's was the joy of discovering Naria, encouraging the group to stay the course, and, in a very real sense, the true leader of that small group. O to have a faith more like Lucy's.
