In all of these instances, the sight of the Bright and Shining Lion leads to repentance and restoration, scattering the darkness of sin and disobedience. In Aslan is Light, and his light is the light of men, shining in the darkness, unable to be overcome. Like Jesus, he is the Light of the World, and in another beautiful twist from the writings of the Apostle John, he is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, the Lion of Judah who scatters light from his mane, the one who answers Edmund’s question about whether he is in our world too with the simple phrase: “I am.”
