Christmas Question 3
The Gospel According to Aslan - When Peter, Susan and Lucy are walking to meet with Aslan they meet Father Christmas, who gives them special Gifts which become part of Narnian history. Peter’s sword defeats the Wolf and Aslan knights him with it, Susan’s Horn is the means of bringing the children back to Narnia to help Prince Caspian and Lucy’s cordial is used when she is sailing on the Dawn Treader as well as after various battles. Spiritual Gifts are mentioned in the New Testament, including 1 Corinthians 12. Verse 11 connects the Gifts of the Spirit to the Gifts given in ‘The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’, but in what way?
The correct answer is 'they are all given to each individually according to the giver'
It is easy to see Lucy’s cordial as the Gift of Healing, but not so easy to identify the other Gifts; 1 Corinthians 12 lists them as Wisdom, Knowledge, Faith, Healing, Miracles, Discernment, Tongues and Interpretation. Verse 7 says ‘To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good’, which covers the Gift of Susan’s Horn. Peter’s Sword and Shield could be referenced to the Armour of God as listed in Ephesians 6:16-17.
