There was grace and salvation without shedding blood in the OT, so why would there suddenly be a need to crucify/shed blood?

So you are saying that Jesus dying on the Cross was unnecessary and not required?

That's right. Crucifixion is a Roman means of death penalty generally reserved for those they saw as a threat. The mission of Jesus was to preach a message of repentance, which he did.
