What you said here reminded me of a sermon I did a few years ago. The part about God killing His Son for people. The sermon title is "What if John 3:16 Wasn't True?" I will just put a bit here, that speaks of how that act wasn't easy.

"Again our Heavenly Father did the ultimate act of giving to provide us with the ultimate life insurance to be able to spend eternity with Him. Think about what it must have been like if possible to have been God in Heaven and given your only son. Max Lucado again says it well: “Mono-genes, highlights the particular relationship between Jesus and God. Though God is the Father of all humanity, Jesus alone is the monogenetic Son of God, because only Christ has God’s genes. Only Christ is God by nature. From the King James “only begotten Son” conveys this truth. When our parents begat or conceived us, they transferred their DNA to us as a newborn child. Jesus shares God’s DNA. Jesus isn’t begotten in the sense that He began but in the sense that He and God have the same essence, eternal life span, unending wisdom, and tireless energy. Only His only son had His genes, every attribute the heavenly Father had Jesus had. The Father and the Son had an intimacy and a mutuality that no one else shares, but He gave! But again, think, what if this wasn’t true?
Consider the Source it wasn't an easy task; consider having to give one of your children especially if that child was your only child!
