What really tugs at my heartstrings is that He took the punishment WE deserved. He took the rap for us! He suffered the pain and torture meant for us. That's like going to the electric chair in place of a condemned criminal, and we were that criminal. He didn't have to do it, but He did. And He did it for love.

The reason why Jesus died is something that truly moves me. I know He did it to take away our sins, but the way He went to His death is what awes me. He didn't do it out of duty, or moral obligation. He did it out of pure love. Nobody I know would have done that. He did it because He loved us so much. That's why I love Jesus so much.
