The painting appears as a center platform with wide open doors on either side. The interior space reveals a scene of great and lovely welcoming. There is a host of golden angels that hover around the semi-transparent image of the great cross of the risen Christ. The scriptural inspiration for these images comes from Luke 11:9, in which we are told to ask and it shall be given, to seek and we shall find, to knock and it shall be opened unto us. In the lowest most part of the painting, in a small under space, there can be seen a group of extended hands that appear to be reaching upward, out of the darkness that surrounds them. These are "seekers" of God and his Word, those who wish to learn the truth, and find the light of God's love.

Images of this love of God abound in the painting. There is presented in the center of the great cross, the face of God, from whose mouth seem to emanate many lovely golden ribbons. These represent the Word of God, from Deuteronomy 8:3, "...man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord." In the center of the painting, another symbol of God's immense love for us is presented in the form of God's huge hands, offering us the sacrament of Holy Communion, instituted by Jesus at the Last Supper (Matthew 26:26-29). Along with the images of Communion which suggest the promise of eternal life through faith in our Lord, are presented two floral images, violets and ivy, which seem to climb from the dark under space all the way up to the angels. In flower folklore, these two represent faithfulness, and here take inspiration from Lamentations 3:22 where we are told that the Lord's compassions never fail, that they are new every morning and that his faithfulness is great. Also, illustrating this passage from scripture is the view from the windows in the painting. The pale blue of daylight can be seen through the right window. In the center of the painting, the night sky is presented, but then at the left, daylight has returned, suggesting the passing of time from morning to night to morning, again emphasizing God's constancy.

A little farther down in the painting, there are three lilies, representing the Holy Trinity and the Resurrection or promise of eternal life through the symbol of the Easter flower. The flowers have grown long, strong golden roots, which seem to be reaching for the hands of the seekers in the small under space. In Matthew 13, Jesus teaches about the parable of the sower. He tells us that the seed is His word and His message about the Kingdom of heaven. When we hear his word and understand it, we are like the good soil that produces a wonderful crop. Jesus promises that we will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of eternal life with Him.

Finally, at the very top of the painting, there is a place where the wooden frame of the doorway seems to have split open, revealing a brilliantly gold swirling space that seems to be behind or beyond everything else in the painting. Because gold is considered to be both precious and beautiful, it is here symbolic for all that lies beyond what we know of God's creation. In Job 11:7, scripture asks, "Can you fathom the mysteries of God? Can you probe the limits of the Almighty?" All the science in the world cannot answer yes to these questions. But that is no obstacle to those who seek His kingdom. We believe by faith and through His grace that we shall indeed return to Him and have eternal life. Because of the loving promises He has given us in scripture, we know in truth that if we seek Him, we shall surely find Him and all the joy and love we can possibly imagine.
