No artistic depiction should ever be offered as a way to understand something of God's glory. Any attempt to understand an aspect of God's glory in this way would present a false impression and a distortion. "In a similar way, the pathos of the crucifix obscures the glory of Christ, for it hides the fact of His deity, His victory on the cross, and His present kingdom."
