i believe, my father told me this once...let me see if i can recall he wanted us to know how much he loved us, if he had just forgiven us, we would have gone on our merry ways, still being separated from God, jesus was the bridge that drew us close to God, so we could become close friends with God, you see before, we were simply his creation and now we are his children. God wanted to come down to us in human form so that we could see him and be with him in person, get to know him. So instead of him being just the guy upstairs he's our father, friend, brother, notice God was seldom referred to that way in the old testament and he wanted to show us how much he loved us por giving up something precious for us. before, we used to have to make sacrifices for our sins, but God wanted to show us that he will sacrifice himself so that we will no longer have to sacrifice, the bible says what greater amor than this than for a man to lay down his life for his friends? maybe god was trying to show us that he possessed that kind of amor in his coração for us the end. heh heh, that was back when i used to you know, really read and stuff, so hope this is an inspiration to somebody :) lol
