Nothing should have happened to Jesus. He could have lived well, following all the laws, obeying the high priest, growing old, and at the end being taken up into heaven in a chariot of fire. It would be even better if he had become an emperor. Though this was not that happened, we all want to 'preserve' that Jesus.
In our attempts to preserve, protect, safeguard, it is important to ask what do we really preserve? Is it faith, is it Christ, or some particular symbols, customs, rubrics, powers, structures etc? Do recapturing of these reveal more of Christ to us, to others and to the world? Will any one be ready to lose any of these for Christ's sake?
