Christianity is all about a substitutionary human sacrifice for the sins of other humans.
Yes, that's true. Why? The Prophets spoke of it and the Bible foreshadowed it many times: Yeshua is the Suffering Servant. The Jews teach that the entire nation/people of Israel is the Suffering Servant and atone for many.
Here's an example of some self-righteous Jews, the type who would vehemently deny such atonement is possible by one life for another when debating with Christians, and then turn around and state:
On July 6, 1941, Reb Elchanan was studying in the house of R. Avrohom Grodzensky, in the company of a group of scholars, when four armed Lithuanians came in shouting and taunting. It was obvious that the end was near and Reb Elchanan spoke his last words:
“Heaven apparently considers us righteous people, for it wants us to atone with our bodies for Jewry as a whole. So we must repent now...if we repent, we will thereby save the remaining Jews, our brothers and sisters, so that they will be able to carry on as the remnant of Jewry.”

John 11:49-52
49 And one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all, 50 nor do you consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole nation should perish.” 51 Now this he did not say on his own authority; but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation, 52 and not for that nation only, but also that He would gather together in one the children of God who were scattered abroad.
Jewish self-sacrifice isn't enough to atone for the sins of the world. Yeshua, as the I AM, as our Great Creator God, alone can sacrifice for His Creation -- His life worth more than all Creation. If a man could sacrifice for another, it would merely be for another. Yeshua's sacrifice is sufficient for all mankind. The Son of Man died that we may live. The blood of the Lamb has got us covered if and when we confess and forsake our sins.
