I have no problem at saying that God sent his son to die.  It is Bible
after all -- John 3:16 comes immediately to mind.

  "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
  whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting
  life."

> Amen, Jesus did volunteer!

Yes, but Luke 22:42 shows that he didn't want to, and is a beautiful
example of submission:

  "...Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless
  not my will, but thine, be done."
