That the Christ must die is an affront to the proud human heart for it finds this kind of deed the most weak and pathetic of actions. The matter of death is also something we don't like to think about as it spells the end of all that we are but more than this it is feared due to the divinely underwritten expectation of judgment due to humanity's guilt before God. Yet it is precisely this necessity that humanity needs to have happen to it for the true life of God to be received and known.
The 'must' of Jesus prophetic utterance of his death and subsequent resurrection was because it was God's plan from before the world's creation, revealed as the Divine promise imbedded throughout the whole Old Testament. Jesus was thereby revealed to the world at God's arranged time, to die and be raised according to God's foreordained plan, so that "all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God." (John 1:12-13).
