That makes a lot of sense actually. I actually do not believe he died for our sins. I believe he let himself die so we could see our sins. The man was innocent was he not? I'n my eyes innocence is ultimate bliss and ignorance is not. (most would say ignorance is bliss) I think he died due to having too much power and the higher ups got jealous of his knowledge and all the love he got from his following. So they said we kill this man to forgive your sins or we kill you all and they turned their back on Jesus. Ever since then I believe everyone has been in shock. This moment changed the world.
