Can someone religious please explain this story? I am not being disrespectful but I have never understood how sending your son to certain death is somehow meant to be a good thing.
Jesus didn't die, he was resurrected on the third day.
And was he sent by God? Or did he come on his own resolution? To show God that gentiles could be saved if they repented?
For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. (Mark 10:45)
This passage cuts to the heart of why Jesus had to come. He came to give His very life to save ours. He was born into the world so that He could die for the world. Paul says it this way, “But when the fullness of time had come [that’s Christmas], God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons” (Gal. 4:4–5).
Jesus redeems us. He pays our debt. But how does Jesus redeem us? He pays with His life. Our text says that Jesus came—that’s Christmas—to give His life as a ransom—that’s Easter. The payment demanded was His sinless life. And that ransom price was impossible for you and me to pay.
With Jesus' sacrifice, God kept his promise to Jesus.
My opinion.
Such an difficult idea to get our earthly minds around: God came to earth as a man and died to save us. God Himself died for us!
