Just as 1 Peter 3:18 says that Christ turned himself in for us, the Righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God. Just like a person handing himself over to police custody!

 for the life of the world." (John 6:51b)

as a ransom for all men...." (1 Timothy 2:5-6)

for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father." (Galatians 1:3-4)

for us to redeem us from all wickedness and 

to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good." (Titus 2:13-14)

"Christ loved us and gave himself up (paradidōmi) for (huper) us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God." (Ephesians 5:2)

Perhaps the last is the most striking. My 3 year old son continuously baffles me with his endearing words, his desire to be with me and please Jesus whom he knows not. I am quite pleased with him. He fills me with so much joy. It breaks my heart as he learns the meaning of sin and depravity. He cries not only from being scolded but also because the thing he wants to do most, to be pleasing, he is unable to master. Christ loved us and gave himself up for us because left to ourselves we could no longer please the Father (Romans 7:18). Ephesians 5:5 is so tender and yet so profound that God Himself had to hang on a tree because we are unable to do what is good. (Romans 12:2) He had to offer Himself in the flesh. (Rev. 5:1-7)
