The only way out is death.
Each one of us, after having been born in the flesh must die, that is the law. The curse of death kicks in as soon as you have been begotten.
Its really profound to realize that this was true for Jesus too.
As soon as he had been born of a woman, He was already sentenced to death, simply because the curse of death applies to all the sons of Adam. He bore the likeness of our sinful flesh from day 1.
He obeyed the command to die on the cross, but it is illuminating of the human condition to understand that He was going to die anyway, one way or another as soon as He had become flesh.
The only exit strategy for any human being form this earth age is death, that is what Jesus bought into when He submitted to being born of a woman.
The wonder of the cross is that Jesus had known what He was coming into when he became human, and that He now shows us by the Holy Spirit how to follow Him - into death.
