Jesus Statue Struck By Lightning

Now this just may qualify as ironic. In a shocking photograph from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the world’s largest statue of Jesus is seen being struck by lightning.
The statue, officially named “Christ the Reedemer”, was named one of the seven modern wonders of the world in 2007. The giant statue sits 3000 feet atop a mountain, dramatically overlooking the city.

Nah, God`s striking Jesus so He doesn`t have to strike you...

"Remember, God loved his Son so much He killed Him. And He loves you that much too."
