Lewis writes you didn't need to drink much of it for it quenched your thirst at once

there's a girl her name is Jill Pol. Jill ends up in Narnia but away from her friend so she's all alone as she's sitting and waiting and wondering what she should do and if her friends are going to find her she is really thirsty and so she goes in search of water.

she stops dead in her tracks and then Lewis writes this the sight of the water made her feel ten times thirstier than before but she didn't rush forward to drink she stood as if she had been turned into stone.

For on the other side of the stream there was a huge lion and we know it's Aslan but Jill doesn't know it she says if I run the other way he's going to catch me if I keep going forward I'm going to walk right into his mouth she just stood there still but she was so thirsty she kind of wanted to run away and then the lion speaks I don't know if you know John but in this world animals guitar well not our world but in Narnia.

Right the lion says are you thirsty and she said yes and he said if you are thirsty come and drink she's still just sat there frightened and the lion says are you not thirsty and Jill said I'm dying of thirst and the lion says well drink then and Jill said something like do you mind going away while I drink and the lion gave it like a low growl and she said well will you promise not to do anything to me if I drink and the lion said I make no promise and Jill said well I don't dare come and drink and the lion says well then you're you're going to die of thirst and Jill thought oh dear I suppose I must go and look for another stream and then this great moment the lion looks at her calls her name Jill there is no other stream Jill decides to do what she was afraid of doing and comes to the lion and comes to the stream and drinks Lewis writes you didn't need to drink much of it for it quenched your thirst at once that a great story right there is none other way we think to ourselves oh that way of Jesus sounds hard and scary and difficult I don't know if I want to repent or maybe I'll go find another way right yeah and there is no other way I love it that's what the verse is saying and who did CS Lewis have in mind when he was writing about you wonder right you wonder who he had in mind well we hope you enjoyed this story come find us on our full podcast it's called follow him you can get wherever you get your podcasts this week where with doctor Carrie Mielstein incredible mind you're going to love what he does and then come back next week and join us for another follow him favorites

She is really thirsty and she finds a clear bubbling stream. But to her horror, blocking her path to the stream is a huge, terrifying lion.

And the lion says, are you thirsty? She says, I'm dying of thirst. Then drink, said the lion.

May I? Could I? Would you mind going away while I do? Said Jill. The lion answered this only by a look and a very low growl.

Jill was so thirsty now without noticing it, she had come a step nearer to the lion. Do you eat girls? She said. He answered, I swallow them up. I have consumed girls and boys, women and men, kings and emperors, cities and realms, said the lion.

I don't dare come and drink, said Jill. Then you will die of thirst, said the lion. Oh dear, said Jill, coming another step nearer. I suppose I must go and look for another stream then. And in this great moment, Aslan says, Jill, there is no other stream. There is no other way whereby man can be saved.
