He let himself be crucified by the Jews because it was God's will. The reason was because sacrificing himself would cleanse us all from sin, and give us a chance to be saved, if we do his will.
Answer:
You are correct in saying that no man had the power to kill Christ, Jesus himself made it clear to Pilate, the Roman governor in John 19:11 "Thou couldest
have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above" And speaking to his disciples, he said in John 10:17,18 "I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again." But allowing one's self to be killed is verydifferent from killing one's self orcommitting suicide. Suicide is the ultimate act of selfishness,committed by a person who doesn't care about anybody or anything enough to keep on living. Sacrificing one's life to save others is the ultimate act of selfless love. John 15:13"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."

We view suicide as... well, not a sin, but not a good thing. We view it as a tragity.Alternate AnswerJehovah's Witnesses understand that God is the Creator and Source of life. If a person were to deliberately take a life, whether his own or that of someone else, that would be murder, and murder is a VERY serious sin.Of course no human can judge whether or not someone was of sane mind when he or she committed suicide. Ultimately, only Jehovah God and Jesus Christ can do that. So, whether that one would be resurrected in the future is also in their hands.
