"The Sacred Incline" shows a single family advancing toward the light, it also provides a metaphor for the importance in our day of strengthening our families in the gospel, uniting in the cause of following the Savior, and keeping our eyes fixed on the goal of eternal life. Given the darkness of the world that presses in on every side, our struggle up the slope of life is more spiritually perilous now than at any time in history. These conditions will not improve until the Savior reigns. But just as those who felt the angels pulling the load when all seemed hopeless, we have the same promise and the same help in these latter days.
A cloak: is a type of loose garment that is worn over indoor clothing and serves the same purpose as an overcoat;
it protects the wearer from the cold, rain or wind.
I love the cloak in this picture it truly is Sacred, it is similitude of the protecting Care and Love of the Savior in our lives,
in our journeys.
I like to think that the incline represents the hardships, heartaches and trials that purify the lives of all those who claim discipleship. The cloak represents the Lord's divine assistance as He draws us to Him. This beautiful painting is inspirational to me. Thank you.
