Why was Jesus' death considered unnatural?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' death was unnatural because He was sinless, and death had no rightful claim over Him.

The death of Jesus Christ is considered unnatural or abnormal because, unlike all other humans who die as a consequence of sin, He had no sin. Scriptures like 1 Peter 2:22 affirm that He committed no sin, and as such, death, which is the wage of sin (Romans 6:23), had no rightful claim over Him. In this way, His death stands apart from all others, indicating the profound mystery of the incarnation where the eternal God stepped into human history to die. Jesus willingly laid down His life to fulfill God's justice and redeem His people, thus making His unnatural death a powerful act of love and sacrifice for our benefit.
