Why did Jesus allow His own crucifixion, when His opponents did not repent and reform and were sent to hell anyway?

Shri Bharath Krishna asked: Om Namaḥ Śivaya, Swami! I am trying to understand the divine knowledge given by You. I request You to kindly clarify my queries. In the discourse given by you on August 14, 2016 (2^nd Message), you have said the following:

“Krishna preached a lot to the Kauravas and also invited various sages to preach to them! But Krishna did not do as Jesus did since He had decided to kill all of them. He knew that sympathy could never arise in the hearts of the demons who were born as the Kauravas. In the case of Jesus, there was some scope for repentance in the hearts of His opponents. Hence, Jesus implemented a different strategy of undergoing the pitiable crucifixion, which subsequently created some repentance in the hearts of His opponents.”

You have also mentioned the following related to the people who crucified Jesus: “They became the topmost sinners and were thrown away into the blazing liquid fire in hell, forever.”

Both the sinners who opposed Krishna and those who opposed Jesus, were sent to eternal hell. Then, in what way was the repentance of those who crucified Jesus useful? Whether they repented or not, they were not going to get reformed and were going to be sent to hell, in any case. The additional huge sin of killing Jesus that they incurred, would have only increased their suffering in hell. So, what was the use of Jesus choosing a strategy involving His own crucifixion?

Swami replied: The cruel people who crucified Jesus went to eternal hell because they did not repent after the crucifixion of Jesus. They were similar to the Kauravas, who were not only punished here, but were also thrown into eternal hell. The crucifixion created sympathy in the minds of other people, in course of time. It melted the hearts of other theists who realized the climax of love shown by Jesus for His devotees. It helped them realize that unimaginable love is a characteristic of God, which is represented by God Viṣṇu. Apart from unimaginable love, God also possesses the characteristics of unimaginable knowledge represented by God Brahmā and unimaginable miracles represented by God Śiva. The group of theists, who could not recognize Jesus as God-in-human-form and also harmed Him, went to eternal hell. The second group of theists could recognize Jesus as the human form of God were protected. These two groups of theists are separate.
