On C.S. Lewis

Episode 8, Chapters 15 & 16: The Disappearance of Jill and The Healing of Harms


Listen Later

The Silver Chair concludes with a beautiful and touching completion of the Quest and reunion with Aslan. Closing themes include the following: (1) Joy and order are hardwired into Narnia (The Great Snow Dance of Narnia that Jill encounters when she climbs out through the hole from the Underworld is a glorious and ordered and precise dance of exceeding joy in which the creatures revel); (2) Being in the Will of Aslan confers Goodness and authority (Seeking after Aslan and purposing to do his Will changes those who follow him and changes them forever in every aspect of their being); (3) Evil never sleeps and has its own unique strategy for every age (The Witch, masquerading as the Lady of the Green Kirtle, lures Prince Rilian into her thrall after having killed his mother years before, just as the White Witch centuries before in Narnia purposed to bring Evil into Aslan's newly formed creation); (4) Aslan is with us in our deepest sorrows and will bring us Home (As the elderly King Caspian's ship comes to Cair Paravel, there is great joy that the aged king will finally get to see his long-lost son, Prince Rilian, again. After they embrace, just as Caspian raises his hand to bless Rilian, Caspian dies. The exuberant joy turns to terrible sorrow at his passing, and as Jill and Eustace are overcome with grief they are brought into the presence of Aslan); (5) Aslan’s blood gives us resurrection life (Aslan's blood plus the living water enables eternal life with Him in Aslan's country); and (6) Aslan cares about injustice and the wrongs we suffer (Rather than end the story with life in Aslan's Country, Lewis has more to say to us about God and his concern for justice in this world as well, shown as Aslan helps the children right some wrongs at Experiment House).
