JESUS, THE SON OF GOD, ON THE CROSS, ACTED LIKE A LIGHTNING ROD. ALL OF GOD'S PUNISHMENT FOR SIN WAS FOCUSED ON THE PERFECT LIFE OF THE CHRIST; EACH OF US CAN ACCEPT HIS LIFE, DEATH, AND RESURRECTION AS PAYMENT FOR OUR SINS OR EXPERIENCE THE PUNISHMENT ETERNALLY; CHOOSE WELL WHILE THERE IS STILL TIME
