Aslan, for Narnia, symbolizes Christ—a savior and king who ushers in a new kingdom, brings eternal life, wipes away every tear, and who displays the qualities of both a great lion and a sacrificial lamb.Aslan, like Christ, willingly sacrificed his life in a demonstration of love. Despite being a mighty lion whose thunderous roar causes all to tremble and stand in awe, we find that he is definitely motivated by love and that those who love him have nothing to fear. His big paws—which can lash out without a moment’s notice at the enemy—handle those in his care with much tenderness and consideration.
He will cover you with feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. – Psalm 91:4 (NIV)
