So the Judeochristian god, in biblical mythology, demands blood atonement for transgressions against him. In the Old Testament this is established through animal sacrifice and the rules for what animals can be sacrificed by the Hebrew/Jewish people to appease god are laid out. We see the first sacrifices happen with Cain and Abel (where God favors Cain animal sacrifice over Cains sacrifice of harvested agricultural crops), and later God demands that Abraham sacrifice his son as an offering (stopping him at the last minute and accepting a ram instead). Generally speaking, lambs were favored due to their perceived purity, as they were considered clean animals under Jewish dietary customs and unblemished by age.

The gospel books of the New Testament, understanding this ritual sacrifice context, describe Jesus as the most perfect sacrifice since he is part of God, unblemished by sin or transgression. His supernatural purity makes him a powerful enough blood sacrifice to undo any transgression against God. This is why he is sometimes referred to as the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world.

Now, does it make sense that he made a sacrifice, of himself, to himself, to appease himself? I dont know, the whole 3-in-1 God situation sort of confused the logic there. I guess it makes as much sense as anything else.
