Because it had to be done. Without His death, there would be no resurrection,... no second coming,...
It is in His death that we are saved,.. in His resurrection that we found His glory that restored our Life for eternity.

Only a few days prior to his crucifiction___ Jesus was desetting the shops and trade points__ installed in the God’s Temple__ by the leave (sponsorship) of his Lord. The on looking crowd was fearing from him while he was, fearlessly, lashing every shop keeper and the trader. He was commanding them to free the God’s Temple from their shops and trade. Now, on the cross he is the same Jesus but without leave (sponsorship) of the Lord, crying for help, saying:-
“Eli Eli Lema Sabachthani!”
He has lost his miracles and miraculous power__ and is rendered__ into a commonplace person. Who is complaining before the Lord in the most pathetic terms. He is saying that his miracles have gone__ his power has gone__ strength has gone__ and he is now like a small quantity of water__ spilt on the ground__ which is drying away moment by moment. So he is saying to his Lord: “Have mercy on me!” “Have mercy on me!”__ Don’t leave me here__ for dead in the dust.
While praying to his Lord__ Jesus is very much conscious of the fact__ that he has lost his miracles___ his power___ his strength and everything. So he is rightly praying before his Lord. He is not praying here__ before himself or his godly-self__ as he, himself, can not__ accede to any prayer. It is the Lord and the Almighty God alone___ Who accedes to the prayers. The prayer of Jesus is, therefore, positively telling that Jesus is not any Saviour at all. He is simply a man and Prophet__ who himself, is praying before the Lord for help and Salvation.
Beware please, it is an old and well known law of the Lord that___ the Lord reveals the truth__ in open and decisive terms. Looking upon the miracles of Jesus__ the people were considering Jesus as the greatest magician. While hypocrites were calling him, even, the Lord and Saviour. Although Jesus did criticize such thoughts and notions but the notions remained in rapid progress. So, it became eventually essential that___ the actual status of Jesus should be demonstrated__ before all__ in the most open & visible terms. So, the Lord withdrew the miracles and the miraculous power of Jesus and rendered him into an ordinary man. The actual status of Jesus was, as such, demonstrated on the cross before everyone openly.
Whereafter, Jesus was no more a supernatural creature or the Lord and the Saviour. Instead, he was simply a common man. Who was not independent in any respect. He was rather totally dependant upon the Lord, in all respects.
The prayer of Jesus on the cross (the Psalm-22) also, signifies that___ in presence of sponsorship from the Lord__ an ordinary man may become so glorified and sublime that__ he is entitled as “Spirit of God” and “Word of God”. But when the sponsorship is withdrawn by the Lord__ then the man deteriorates__ even from his common status of a man___ and becomes worthless___ like a despised worm.
The trial of Jesus on the cross__ might have been withheld by the Lord___ but the two particular things necessitated it’s happening in essential terms:-
•The miraculous birth of Jesus was a sign of the Lord’s unique creativity. Whereby the people had to strengthen their faith in the Lord and the Lord’s Almightiness but they failed to do so. Instead, they lost their faith in the Lord and the Lord’s Al-mightiness and began to say Jesus as son-god and the Lord.
•Right from the beginning, it is an objective Law of the Lord that__ whenever Monotheism is diminished or overlapped by Polytheism___ the Lord cuts away the overlapped coverings of Polytheism and unveils Monotheism__ in the most obvious terms.
So the Lord did the same on the turn of Jesus. The Lord, rightly put Jesus under the trial of suffering and made the people understand that Jesus was not God or the Lord or the son-god. Nor he was a Saviour, instead, he was a man and Messenger of the Lord. Who, practically preached the Message of Monotheism, even on the cross.

Because Caiphas (sic) and the other pharases (sic) thought he would stir up too much trouble with the Romans, and they also didn't like what they perceived as heresy against their belief system. The joke was on them though because, obviously, he became a martyr.
Do you have any concept of how many times this has been asked on Yahoo Answers??? ...and how many web sites out there have a wide variety of explanations to answer this question? Did you even TRY doing a search first?

Truth? He died because He came earth to become the ultimate sacrifice for sins. Before His death sins had to be atoned by animal or food sacrifice. His death put a stop to that and offered us eternal life for acceptance. That is the reason He died.

Jesus died because man is sinful and as sinful man cannot approach God. God is holy. God came as a man to pay for man's sin so that man can approach God.

Yes. I know why. He came not into the world not to condemn the world; the world was condemned already. He came to seek and to save that which was lost.
