Why Christ?

The below phrase struck a chord with me. This phrase to me beautifully portrays as to why Christ had to suffer and die on our part. Yes, I understand that a Holy God cannot commune with an unholy man. But I have always wondered as to why Christ had to come into the world the way he did and have to be crucified the way he did. 

Human=Sin
Human=Forgiveness

Eve=Sin
Mary=Forgiveness

Tree=Sin
Cross=Forgiveness

"For when death had entered into the human race through man's disobedience, it was fitting that life should be restored through the obedience of man. When the sin which was the cause of our condemnation had its beginning from a woman, it was fitting for the Author of our justice and salvation to be born of a woman. Since the devil, when he tempted man, conquered him by the tasting of a tree, it was fitting for him to be conquered by man's bearing of suffering on a tree. And a
good many other things, when we consider them carefully, show the inexpressible beauty of our redemption thus accomplished."
