No, Jesus came to die for mankind, but he did it willingly. No one made him do it. (John 10:17,18). Even so, Jesus happily obeyed God's commandments in all things. (John 15:10), but there was no need for God to command Jesus to come to earth.
God "sent" his son to do a job, (John 3:16) confident in the knowledge that his trusted son would complete it successfully, and willingly, out of love for his father. (John 8:29) (John 10:14&15) We can see this from a few scriptures.
(Psalms 40:7, 8) prophecies how the messiah would feel about doing God's will : "Your law is in my very heart." The fulfillment of this can be found in Jesus' words at:
(John 4:34, 35): "My food is for me to do the will of him that sent me and to finish his work.
(John 2:13-17) "The zeal for your house will eat me up." (Psalm 69:9)
(John 6:38) "I have come down from heaven to do, not my will, but the will of him that sent me." John 14:28; 1 Corinthians 15:28; 11:3
He died as a 'ransom sacrifice' buying back what disobedient Adam had lost (Romans 5:19), and giving obedient mankind the opportunity to live forever, if they would listen to Jesus and follow his example of faithfulness.
Jesus came to earth to bear witness to the truth, to maintain integrity under pressure and so vindicate his Father's name, and to give his life a ransom for many. (John 18:37; Hebrews 5:8, John 6:40, Luke 4:43, Matthew 20:28; John 15:13) and everything he did was out of love, not because he was ordered to.
