Description
The Perilous Path To Heaven paints an allegorical image of the challenging journey one must take to reach the promised land. Depicted are all manner of dangers, distractions and temptations the traveling pilgrim is likely to face along the way - crashing waves, foundering boats, jagged rocks, earthly riches, the disapproval of others, a place to stop and rest. At the top of the image, in the background, the entrance to heaven is seen. Here there is help for the weary but triumphant traveler who is met with outstretched arms of welcome. Religious symbolism.
Inspiration for this image comes from the Christian Bible which tells us that there is a path that leads to heaven, but like the journey of a thousand miles, so too the journey to heaven – we must take that first step. ... Jesus taught concerning the path to heaven and eternal life, “the gate is narrow and the road is hard that leads to life, and there are few who find it (Matthew 7:14).”
