Why did Jesus have to suffer and die on the cross?

Luke 24:44-46 KJV And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.  Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,  And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: "It behooved Christ to suffer" Behooved- it is necessary, or a necessity, it is a duty or responsibility. Why was the suffering and the death of Jesus a necessity?
