TRACT TEXT

The release of Disney’s extremely popular Alice in Wonderland movie has become the sequel of the 1951 animated smash hit by the same name. Lewis Carroll wrote two other classics: Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. His novels have been incredibly successful. It makes you wonder: why are they so popular?

Could it be that the stories of Alice strike a chord of hope and belief, that all of us can relate to?

Alice sets out on an impossible journey and is successful. She discovers that "impossible things" are possible.

Alice's Journey to "Underland"

Alice begins with a struggle against society’s expectations. She attends a party that turns out to be an engagement party for Hamish Ascot and her. Hamish and Lady Ascot tell her that a good wife stays silent and well mannered. However, she is distracted by the White Rabbit, which is her call down another path (call to adventure).

Alice follows the White Rabbit down the rabbit hole and she ends up back in Wonderland which is also called “Underland”. However, she does not remember her first visit and believes it to be a dream. Everyone she encounters (Mad Hatter, Hare, and Blue Caterpillar) claim to know her, but she has no memory of them. They continue to guide her to her prophesied destiny despite her uncertainty and resistance. She needs to find her way.

A Champion

Alice discovers that she is prophesied to save “Underland” from its rule of tyranny. With the help of her friends, she meets the White Queen who heals her and prepares her for the battle, and the Blue Caterpillar who helps her to discover her inner strength to carry out the deed. She finally accepts the challenge and marches into battle.

A Dragon

In order for Alice to free “Underland” she must slay the Jabberwocky in battle. The Jabberwocky looks much like a dragon and breaths fire like a dragon. It is the evil beast that brings fire and death to “Underland.” Its death would “make the world right again.” (Mad Hatter)

The Armor and Sword

Alice’s first mission as champion is to find the vorpal sword and bring it to the White Queen. The sword completes the Champion’s suit of armor. Alice wears that suit of armor in battle against the Jabberwocky. The shield protects her from the fire. The armor protects her from the blows. The vorpal sword is the weapon that slays the beast.

Alice wins the victory and a new life is hers.

Another Great Victory Was Won

Over 2,000 years ago a great victory was won to provide freedom for each one of us. Jesus Christ conquered sin and death when He died on the cross and rose from the dead to set us free. Jesus was more than a champion. He was the Savior of the world.

The Bible reveals that we are all sinners (Romans 3:23), and sin prevents us from having a relationship with God. The penalty of sin is death (Romans 6:23).

The Bible says, Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved (Acts 16:31).

Will you place your trust in Jesus Christ and receive Him as your Savior today?

Like Alice, victory can be yours too!

Here is a simple prayer that can start you on a journey where you can "do everything through Christ" and have a new life:

Dear God, thank You for providing a path of salvation for me through Jesus Christ. I realize that it is impossible for me to save myself. I ask You to forgive me of my sins and give me the gift of everlasting life. Thank You for the victory I have in Jesus Christ. Amen.
