In Christianity the willingness to sacrifice the son is from God. Jesus

But doesn't he have to sin to accept all our sins and die for us?
otherwise, he's being punished for crimes not committed.

Er... nope. Jesus, says tradition never committed any sin. You have to see it in this way: Christians accept suffering willingly in change of something, let's say, when someone is in Hospital dying and having pain, they're told to 'offer the pain to God'. Same thing when you ask God for something; it's not that God causes pain in change, it's that when you are in pain, you say (random example) 'I'll accept it without complain if God protect my children when I die'.

The thing with Jesus is that he had all of that suffering and all of the pain in exchange of us believing in God, following his teachings, etc. Jesus didn't commit any suicide not, supposedly, have any choice: he was being accused of blasphemy (calling himself son of God), had a "trial" and lost it, so, he was punished by it. Now, he could have lied saying he nmever did any of what he was being accused, but then, he had sinned*.

(*sin is a verb? I thought the verb is 'to commit a sin', but I am not sure.)
