Lots of people have this question.
He willingly dies testifying against the sin within himself but in favor of the good within himself. This is explained by several NT writers. It is a mystical concept that argues that the gentile should be granted fellowship as if they were Jews. Whether you agree with that or not, that is what the death means.
***Late clarification: sin-nature within himself or that which could cause him to want to sin or any sort of human weakness within himself. I do not mean to imply he has personally transgressed or harmed anyone. I'm adding this, because I can see that many users think I am implying it in the OP. No, I do not mean Jesus has sinned or that he is dying to testify against any of his own actions.***
