Not everyone who has accepted Christ as his Savior did so because he was born into a Bible-believing, Christian home. In fact, many have come to Christ who were outright disbelievers.
Most people know the name C.S. Lewis. When his name comes up, Aslan starts to roar in people’s minds. Lewis was the author of the great Chronicles of Narnia series, the most notable of which is “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.” Lewis was one of the greatest apologists of the Christian faith. He wrote many other books, including “Mere Christianity” and “The Screwtape Letters.”
What people often do not know is that Lewis, by his own admission, was “dragged kicking and screaming into the kingdom of God.”
Lewis did not believe that there was such a thing as God. For him, the great hindrance to believing in God was all of the evil and injustice in the world. But Lewis, a logical man, quickly ran into a mental conundrum. He realized that he was, by using terms like evil and injustice, proving that there was an absolute standard of right and wrong to measure all behavior against. He said, “How was I to know that a stick was crooked if I had no straight stick to compare it against?”
Another such man was Frank Morison, a journalist who lived from 1851 to 1950. He said, “When, as a very young man, I began to seriously study the life of Christ, I did so with a very definite feeling that, if I may so put it, His history rested upon very insecure foundations.” Morison believed that Jesus was a very good man, but certainly not, as the Bible claims, the resurrected Son of God.
