Close, much better than your original post. Still not quite there though. I would make the following point.
Jesus was not killed. He was not murdered. By anybody.
He gave His life. Freely. It was God's plan, and it was carried out to perfection. Had He not chosen to die, then there would be no cross. There would be no movie about The Passion of The Christ.
That doesn't mean that there is no culpability in His death. We are responsible. All of us. Our sin is responsible, all of our sin.
This bears repeating. The Jews did not kill Christ. The Romans did not kill Christ. Mankind did not kill Christ. He chose to die. Period. Amazing when you think about it.
Our sin requires a blood sacrifice for atonement. He provided that sacrifice of His own free will, following God's plan. Because of His sacrifice, we can claim His atonement for our sins.
I was't trying to pick a fight. But we don't accuse others of killing Jesus. Period.
