The sculpture, about 62 feet tall and 40 feet wide at the base, showed Jesus from the torso up and was nicknamed Touchdown Jesus because of the way the arms were raised, similar to a referee signaling a touchdown. 
Patung, tinggi sekitar 62 m dan lebar 40 kaki di dasar, menggambarkan Yesus dari batang tubuh dan dijuluki Touchdown Yesus karena cara lengan terangkat, mirip dengan wasit pensinyalan touchdown.

Commentary: Komentar:
Think, O Christian, may Allah guide you to the straight path, if you consider Jesus Christ to be God, then why would he destroy his own statue? 
Pikirkan, Orang Kristen, semoga Allah membimbing Anda ke jalan yang lurus, jika Anda menganggap Yesus Kristus sebagai Allah, maka mengapa ia menghancurkan patung sendiri?
Would he not be proud of those who built it? 
Apakah ia tidak bangga dengan orang-orang yang membangunnya?
Would he not marvel over it? 
Apakah ia tidak heran atas itu?
And those who consider Jesus to be the son of God, think… 
Dan orang-orang yang menganggap Yesus sebagai anak Allah, berpikir ...
If he is the son of God, would He (God) not feel proud of a statue built for his son? 
Jika ia adalah anak Allah, akan Dia (Allah) tidak merasa bangga dengan patung dibangun untuk anaknya?
If God was pleased with the concept that you cling to so dearly (Jesus being the son of God), then why would He destroy an icon that calls to that message? 
Jika Allah senang dengan konsep bahwa Anda berpegang teguh kepada begitu mahal (Yesus adalah anak Allah), maka mengapa Dia menghancurkan sebuah ikon yang memanggil pesan tersebut?
Ponder over this… renungkan ini ...
