“Many Are Called Few Are Chosen” Print
This piece is part of He’s Not Done With Me Yet and comes from a scripture I’ve heard so many times. But with this verse, I had to really take the time to dig into the context and what it truly means.
It comes from the parable where a king sends out invitations to anyone he can find to come to a feast because the people he expected didn’t show up. But even though he called in a crowd, he still only chose specific people out of everyone there. This parable speaks not just to the salvation that God offers but also to the reality that at the end of an age, many will be called, but only a few will be chosen—only a few will actually follow through and do what they’re meant to do.
It also ties to the scripture in Matthew 11, where Jesus says, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” That message shows up in this piece through the small, intentional details—especially the ears on the faces. The small ear is there for those who can hear, but the bigger ear represents those who listen. That difference matters because hearing and truly listening are two different things.
Another layer of meaning in this piece came from my mom—she helped me pick out the images I should paint to represent the few who are chosen.
This piece is about understanding the weight of being called—and how not everyone who hears will follow through. It’s a reminder of the importance of listening, of being ready for the moment when you’re not just called but chosen.
