No, not exactly. First of all, Jesus WILLINGLY died and His death was indeed a requirement. He was a sacrifice for ALL. Prior to Christianity, Jewish people were required to sacrifice a perfect lamb as an atonement for their sin. They did so regularly, because they sinned regularly. When Jesus came as a fulfillment of prophesy, He became the ultimate and only necessary sacrifice for those who believed. No more sacrificing lambs. His blood covered ALL sinners. His gift is a free gift for any who care to believe and accept it. It was not that God couldn't save Him. He IS God, after all. It's that a blood sacrifice is required to atone for sin and Jesus willingly died a torturous death so you and I and anyone who believes in Him, shall have forgiveness of our sins and be reconciled to God for eternity.

Are the lambs code for children?
Good golly, no. They are lambs - four legged animals - baby sheep.
