As adults living in a western society we are pretty accustomed to the image, but if you step back and look at it objectively, it's unnecessarily violent and graphic. I would think Jesus standing there preaching would be more of an apt image of the man, particularly if I were Jesus. His message was more important than the fact that he was nailed to a cross, was it not?

His resurrection is arguably even more important. Why not that picture? Good point
