Narnia. I wanna get the books!!!

I have watched Narnia with Abel (finally!) on Monday. It was a movie treat from Abel. I so much wanted to watch the movie. Thanks Abel!
It was such a great show! Can literally see the bible coming out of the whole story.

Or should I say it resembles the four Gospels to be more precise.

Ok, the obvious.
The witch = Satan.
Aslan the Lion = Jesus the King.
Aslan dying for the treachery of Edmund = Jesus dying on the cross for humanity.
Aslan coming back to life = Jesus' resurection.
Aslan killing the witch = Jesus defeating Satan.

How about,
Edmund betraying the righteous for sweets = Iscariot's betraying Jesus for 30 silver?
Lucy being the youngest and the most positive and believing = the childlike faith Jesus always talks about?
Aslan welcoming the treacherous Edmund into the camp and asking everyone not to bring out the past again = Jesus saving the adulteress and asking her not to sin again?
Susan and Lucy crying beside the dead Aslan = the mourning of the women when Jesus died on the cross?
Susan and Lucy being the first to see the resurected Aslan = the women being the first to see the resurected Jesus?
The four different personalities of the silblings and the different kind of tools given to them to fight one common battle = the church making up of people with different background and given different gift from God all gathering for one common purpose?
The splitting of the stone table signifying the breaking of tradition = the splitting of the veil in the temple?

Also, did anyone notice the character of Peter is so much like the biblical Apostle Peter? Someone who is a leader and also talk real big? And when given the responsibilty to lead the whole army, he found himself lacking confidence and need Aslan to keep encouraging him? Just like how Jesus have to keep reassuring Apostle Peter that he was called to lead the church. Read Gospel of John 21: 20-25.

There's definitely more shadows of the bible in The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. Anyway, after saying so much, I just wanna say,
I WANNA GET THE WHOLE SERIES OF THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA!!! Hahaha!
I shall just add that to my wishlist. :) God is Good.
