Christians seem to think that Jesus took the punishment for sinners with his sacrifice/suicide on the cross.
It seems that you have stumbled on a fact that Christianity doesn't make any sense. Jesus's death could have been a nice warning story of a needless murder of human life for religion and therefore that people should not be killed in the name of religion, but that "metaphor" is quickly cancelled considering that Jesus made violent threats to people, and that he was equally barbaric as people who killed him and would do same things to all people who don't accept him.
Christianity made some sense in the past but not today. When it sought god, things were good, when they found their genocidal prick, without the Midrash, it corrupted the Jewish view of god.
To Jesus, who seemed to want to test the messianic myth, his suicide was a must.
He did not know he would fail the test. In the myth that is.
