The narrow gate - Matthew 7:13-14

The narrow and wide gates
‘Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

- Matthew 7:13-14

I've read this passage dozens of times, possibly to the point that it's become less meaningful over the years. I know I should stick to the harder narrow path, with rules laid out by God, and not go to the wider everything goes path, but it can be hard to think of the end game sometimes when there's so much going on in the present.

As I was reading the passage this time this image came into my mind - a choice of two doorways, one leading to a beautiful countryside place and the other filled with fire and smoke. In drawing this, hopefully it will make the destinations stick in my mind better if I find myself contemplating trying the wide path sometimes.

As usual, I used my Derwent Inktense pencils, black Micron pen and white gel pen for this entry.
