Jesus the Christ:
Born to live a sinless life to
Die a sinner's death;
How could we not say hallelujah
With each God-given breath?
How could we not give up "our" lives
To live to His glory?
How could we not set aside the goals for which we strive
Given all He laid aside that we may know real life?

Jesus the Christ:
Born to live a sinless life to
Die a sinner's death:

"For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God" [2 Cor. 5:21; ESV].

"I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what the will of God is, what is good and acceptable and perfect" [Rom. 12:1-2; ESV].

Incarnation

God took the form of man yet
Fully remained/remains God while
Serving/teaching as Son of Man

Then lived a full life facing temptation resisting temptation--
Not a sinful thought, not a sinful word, not a sinful act--
Then concluded that sinless life and took up the cross

Embraced the cross
Embraced the Father's will that there would be death
Embraced the Spirit in trusting there would be a resurrection
