One of the ways to buy back a slave in the ancient world was to offer an equivalent slave or even a superior slave to buy back. That is exactly the way God choose to buy us back he gave his one and only Son in exchange for us.

NIV Life application Bible. Mark 10:45. For even the Son of man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life a ransom for many.
