This scripture calligraphy features Matthew 7:13-14, which contrasts the narrow and wide gates that Jesus spoke of, with exquisite lettering and symbolic imagery representing the paths to heaven and hell.
Verse 13, which says "You can enter God's kingdom only through the narrow gate", is written in a straight line. There is a narrow space to pass in between where it says "only through the narrow gate."
Verse 13 continues below, where it says "The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose to enter that way". The visual space in the artwork broadens here to emphasize that there is plenty of room to pass through this way. It shows jagged lines to resemble lightning strikes, and arrows pointing down, symbolizing a path that eventually leads to destruction.
Verse 14 above says "But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it." The scripture meanders upwards along a curvy line and the words even turn upside down, showing that the road is indeed difficult, but it leads to life and light, symbolized by the shining cross. The verse ends in the upper right corner of the artwork, hidden in a way, to affirm the point that "only a few ever find it."
