See, I never got the impression from the Bible that Christ was altogether sure of his path. Always hopeful, and very confident. But when it came down to the hour of sacrifice he was mournful...he spent hours in private prayer in the Garden. Just think of his own words, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" The very fact that Christ's sacrifice was not easy is part of what gives it such power for Christians. If it was easy, then it would have been no sacrifice and shown no especial love for Men.

Pardon my brief journey into theology...

And the beavers also bade us understand that Aslan was not an ordinary lion. Just as Christ was a man, but not an ordinary man.
