Jesus has to be God. Only a perfectly unblemished, perfectly Holy, perfectly obedient, perfectly Powerful sacrifice could possibly atone for the sins of the whole world. Only God qualifies...
Confusion arises when a person tries to understand how. God's ways aren't our ways. Gods ways are much higher than our ways.
God came down from Heaven and died for your sins. How? Well He's God, that's how. He's not bound by our limited understanding.

Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one (Adam) many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. And not as it was by one (Adam) who sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one (Adam) to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) Therefore as by the offence of one (Adam) judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one (Jesus Christ) the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one man's (Adam) disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one (Jesus Christ) shall many be made righteous. Romans 5:15-19
One man's disobedience - death; One man's obedience - life.
