"Welcome Peter, son of Adam. Welcome Susan and Lucy, daughters of Eve. And welcome to you, Beavers. You have my thanks. But where is the fourth?"--Aslan in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe

Welcome to "Where Is The Fourth?"
I had this name in mind for a blog long before it's pixelated birth today: Aslan's question to the Pevensie children about their brother, Edmund. Aslan knew where Edmund was, of course. It was a grace question. It was a resolute intention stated as a question: that Aslan would not leave Edmund behind in his rebellion but retrieve him and reconcile him to his family, but at ultimate cost to Aslan. I think of Jesus and His intention not to leave me behind in my rebellion, and at ultimate cost to Himself. "But where is the fourth?" expresses succinctly my appreciation for a resilient savior and grace that endures.
