Abstract

"Choose You This Day" is a modern depiction of Lehi’s vision of the Tree of Life. In this story the people, the spacious building, and the distractions have changed, however the path to eternal life stays firm and unchanging forever. While the path towards worldly achievement may look bright, it is mundane in comparison to the Tree of Life, which represents God’s love and eternal life. Many of the people who are holding to the rod are also holding torches. These torches represent the Light of Christ that we can hold in our countenances. They make the path clear for others to follow towards Eternal happiness. People of all races and nationalities are together on this magnificent journey.
