Why did Christ have to suffer?

[Heida_Earnest]

I am not clear why God chose to have his son suffer so much to have others forgiven of their own sins. Is there some Bible verses that could explain this to me? I just am not clear on this and want to be clear on this.

Thank you for your answer which I am anxiously awaiting.
