That's absolutely one way of looking at it. The reasoning isn't explained in the short story, it leaves a lot for inference.

Christians do complain about Jesus having had to be killed for everyone's potential for salvation, though, if anyone's curious. There's a lot of Christian guilt and thankfulness and joy, yes, but the cross is about the constant reminder to mourn that someone else had to die to atone for the crap we pull every day.
