Jesus didn't sacrifice himself.
According to the NT Jesus willingly comitted suicide and that is a sin.
Unless you believe it wasn't willing and God forsaken him as he cried out to that fact, but then that would crush your Jesus was a god argument, in which would prove him to be Lucifer the fallen one for claiming to be a god.-Ezekiel 28
That's called check mate, because no matter how you weasle your character through these issues he's outted for what he is, the great lie and sin.
Jesus would have loved watching the moonshiners on TV,
as he was a bootlegger turning water into wine and all=sin.
You claim Jesus is God then he committed the sin of incest impregnating his mother.
JESUS TAUGHT PEOPLE TO EAT HIS FLESH AND DRINK HIS BLOOD=sin of cannibalism.
Jesus stole roles of the Evening Star, thus was the thief of the NIGHT=SIN OF THEFT.
Jesus trashed the Temple trade section in overturning the tables which was normal practice during high holidays to have trade in non holy areas for accomadating and serving the huge flow of people coming into town. In fact if you think about the story (stolen from the Yehuda the Galuonite story) is Romes clever way of telling you through this icon they were turning the tables on Jerusalem's holy Temple and Jewish worship through their son of Baal (morning star) and their new imposter temple in Rome.
Which brings us to why he had to be considered the sacrafice and die.
1)it makes an excuse as to why their man-god character would not save himself and be so non powerful that he would die.
2)in the Canaanite dying god mythology
of Athtar the Fierce, for those who don't know, it is known as the dying god mythology whereby the son called
morning star, must die to surpass his father Baal on the throne.
Jesus claimed tobe the fallen morning star (lucifer) in Rev 22:16.
