C.S. Lewis On Commitment The Call To Discipleship
Dr. Art Lindsley
C.S. Lewis was one who was deeply committed to Christ. Douglas Gresham, C.S. Lewis’s stepson, calls him “The finest and best Christian I have ever known.” Walter Hooper, who lived with Lewis the last few months of his life, said the nature of his faith in God—the bigness of Lewis’s God—always humbled him because of how his own view was paltry by comparison.
One of Lewis’s favorite passages (his most often quoted passage) was Mark 8:34f:
34 If anyone wishes to come after me, let him deny
himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 35 For
whoever wishes to save his life shall lose it; and
whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospels
shall save it. 36 For what does it profit a man to gain
the whole world and forfeit his soul?. . .
