Are you familiar with the story of Barabbas?
Barabbas, a convicted murderer and rebel against the Roman government is set free and Jesus pays the price. Rebels against Rome were often crucified to make an example of, Barabbas goes free even though he's guilty, and Jesus takes the penalty.
(you can read about this in Mark 15)
That's the alternative....God shows not only his justice but His mercy as well.
