In Jesus we see the one life that is worthy, sacrificed to save the lives of many. Everything about our human sense of justice tells us that this was not right. How could one so worthy take the place of those who have been deemed "not worth it"? Even in the movie, Private Ryan immediately sees the disparity in trading the lives of 6 men to rescue him from the hell of war. We could maybe agree with it if one man gave himself up for his squad or platoon, a fact that we recognize with awards for heroism, but we would seriously question a man giving his life to save the entire enemy army as well.
What could possibly be motivation enough for anyone to do such a thing?
