The answer
Yes, for this statement means that-the Master Christ-was not deserving of the Cross, but that He came to the Crucifixion of His own free will to save us.
Every deed and work that was done by Christ was truly very great and marvellous. However, the most noble of them was His Holy Cross, for by the Cross, everything was made right. Sin was destroyed, death was denied, and the Resurrection was bestowed upon all who believe in Him. The event of Christ’s Crucifixion was a measure of God’s exceeding love towards the human race, and that is why we proclaim that “He was crucified for us,” that is on behalf of us all, the sinners.
