This comment cuts the assumption of the subject so far. 👍 But i would like to add something:

”Perhaps in some senses, but this would not require the shedding of his blood, his teachings would have been sufficient."

Also, apart from shedding of His blood, His teachings and all of the prophets prophecies would have no sense at all. He was speaking about His death, the prophets wrote about it hundreds of years before He came. And for us, the practical thing in which we can apply this sacrificial love of Christ is that we must see how evil really sin is. It took the death of God's own son for us to be right with Him because we ourselves are not righteous enough to stand before a Holy God. All of us have sinned and fall short of God's glory (Rom. 3:23), yet when we are still sinners, Christ died for us (Rom 5:8). It is a gift. The question is, will we respond to this gift of eternal life through Christ? Will we repent on our sins and believe in His gospel?
