Well, if you think about it a bit...
John did something that upset God. God surveyed his large tome of Law and found... there was a law against that. So God goes to John.
God: "John, you did something illegal."
John: "Okay. That's bad. What should I do to fix it?"
God: "I'll send my son to fix it for you, just honor my Son and what he did to fix your sin."
Sounds logical and fair, doesn't it?
NOTE: For this allegory I have assumed that all God's creation is equal to him. That is, the life and suffering of a cattle is just as important as that of a man, because God created both.
fixed it for you
More like, "I'll send my son for you to kill. Then you'll have to worship him, or else I'll kill you."
Sounds better now, doesn't it?
