“Can anything we do compare to His Glory? It is He Who is in the Sacrament. We do our best to honor Him.”

And this is one important reason we are not to make idols. They always fall short of the real glory of God and the real power of God and the reality of every other attribute He has, resulting in a perversion of His image. Good point.

“They always fall short of the real glory of God and the real power of God and the reality of every other attribute He has, resulting in a perversion of His image. “

“Be thou perfect as thy Father is perfect” said Jesus, knowing we are not perfect and can never be. We do the best we can, asking Him to prosper the work of our hands. The builders of the Ark of the Covenant had never seen angels; they went by a description and what they knew as craftsmen. It was done with love and the talent God gave them: and, most of all, for His Glory.
