Why Did Aslan Delay?

Christian Pop Culture

If Aslan is Narnia's Christ, though, how is it that Narnians constantly talk about Christmas, complete with an appearance by Santa (James Cosmo)? We might also ask why Aslan needs the four human kids to save Narnia. He seems to do all the work himself, so why has he waited 100 years to get around to it? Because a prophecy says so. Even in fiction, it seems, acts of God can be arbitrary.
