God did. God's law required it. Without a blood sacrifice, there would be no redemtion.
In the OT the blood of animals only covered the Transgression, not the Iniquity, or the condition (condemned) in which we stood before God. God passed over the transgressions for ONE year, the iniquity compounded until Jesus entered the world scene on our behalf. The outpouring of Blood on the mercy seat in the Holy of Holies was the single most and utmost important duty and responsibility of the High Priest. From preparing the sacrifice to doing the sacrifice was totally the duty and responsibility of the High Priest. No one else was called by God to do it. If others attempted it, they would die.
During the Roman Occupation, Jesus, according to the Law, had to fulfill the whole law, since He was the sacraficial Lamb. It was the job of the high priest, under GOD'S Law, to oversee the sacrifice. Oversee I say, because Jesus died for whosoever, and the Romans were the occupiers that the Jews could not ignore and the Romans became the whosoevers that participated in the Sacrifice, but it was the High Priest who ordered it. Yet God accepted it with Pleasure, according to God Himself.
The Jew's could not know Jesus was the Messiah, or Savior. If they had known, who would have beat Him, or could watch Him suffer and die as He did? God had to blind them so that the full number of gentiles would recieve the outpouring of the Holy Spirit as well.
The resurrection represents proof that Gods word is true, the Lamb was sacrificed and escaped the grip of death and was resurrected assuring we would be where He is also.
God gave and when we receive we become a new creation. ALL THE GLORY GOES TO GOD.
