Satan in Narnia- Doug Savarie

In The Lion, the Witch and the Wardobe, the White Witch is representative of Satan. She reveals this fact in many ways. The first of which is the introduction of temptation, and eventually sin, into Narnia. Edmund is the first of the four children that she encounters and she immediately begins to exploit him by tempting him with Turkish Delight. In the same way, Satan introduces temptation and sin into the Garden of Eden by tempting Eve with fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Later on in the book, Edmund has committed the sin of betraying those close to him. The White Witch recognizes this and is excited because through this offense, Edmund has committed himself to her in the same way that a sinner deserves to die and go to hell (Romans 6:23). After identifying Edmund as a traitor to Aslan, the witch says, “that human creature is mine. His life is forfeit to me. His blood is my property.” This is the way that Satan views us when we sin: as his property, damned for eternity in hell; however, there is one small detail. Jesus died on the cross to absolve us of any sins we commit, past or future, so long as we put our faith in him. In the same way that Jesus died to save our lives from Satan, Aslan died at the hand of the White Witch to preserve Edmund’s life.
