These two are related and both are true.

This is the most intrigiung one. Why did it take Jesus to be the
propitiatory for the sins of mankind? Why wern't animal sacrifices
enough? Afterall "blood was shed" which was essential for atonement
under the Law code. Why a homan sacrifice? Why not any human sacrifice?
Why Jesus?

Interesting. Jesus as a benefactor. Why couldn't man pay this debt?
What was man lacking? Why couldn't one man out of the billions that
have ever lived pay off this debt with his life?

But Jesus could have saved his life, right? Why did he freely give it?

But HOW and WHY did his victory over death free mankind from death?
Others had been resurrected in the past. Both Elisha and Elijah
resurrected persons- Jesus resurrected at least two persons before he
was resurrected. Would mankind have been freed from death if Jesus was
not resurrected?
