In the classic children’s book “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe” by C. S. Lewis, Susan learns that Aslan (the Christ-figure) is a lion, and replies, “Ooh … Is he—quite safe? I shall feel rather nervous about meeting a lion.”
“That you will, dearie, and make no mistake,” said Mrs. Beaver, “if there’s anyone who can appear before Aslan without their knees knocking, they’re either braver than most or else just silly.”
Lucy responded, “Then he isn’t safe?” To which Mr. Beaver said, “Safe? Who said anything about safe? Course he isn’t safe. But he’s good. He’s the King, I tell you.”
This week in Ecclesiastes 5, Solomon reminds us to stand in awe and humility as we worship God. After all, a God who is all love, grace and mercy and no justice or wrath is a watered-down sentimentalized view of God that neglects attributes like holiness and respect.
