This passage in Prince Caspian struck me as an amazing description of our understanding of God.
The great beast rolled over on his side so that Lucy fell, half sitting and half lying between his front paws. He bent forward and just touched her nose with his tongue. His warm breath came all around her. She gazed up into the large wise face.
"Welcome child." He said
"Aslan," said Lucy, "you're bigger."
"That is because you are older, little one," answered he.
"Not because you are?"
"I am not. But every year you grow, you will find me bigger." (p.148)
Isn't that what growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ is all about. As we mature in our Christian walk we often think that we know more about God, the Bible, faith, grace...almost as if it is a foreign language to master and learn and we almost have it all down. Yet surprisingly enough the more we grow in our faith the bigger our view of God becomes, because we realize that even with all our knowledge and depth that we only have a glimpse of God. Now we see in a glass dimly, then we shall know in full.
