WHAT DID JESUS REALLY SACRIFICE? HELP A BROTHER OUT!
Sacrifice is defined as: something given up or lost.
Jesus death was painful and humiliating but what did he really lose?
Jesus knew that he was going to be sacrificed and resurrected.
Jesus knew that once he was resurrected he would be in a throne in heaven with his father.
Jesus died a painful death on the cross, one he knew that would happen. He was resurrected and walked the earth again and was then taken to be with his father in heaven.
This sounds more like a promotion actually. A couple of days of pain followed by eternity in paradise.
How does a couple days of suffering translate to "the ultimate sacrifice" when those days were followed by an eternity of bliss at God's side?
What did Jesus really sacrifice?

Truthfully,
He knew of his suffering, and life again.
He gave that freely, and his sacrifice was a blood sacrifice.
What he sacrificed most of all was because his LOVE for All people to have eternity with Him if they will believe.
And if God's chooses to promote love. I would follow the "ultimate sacrifice" to have the bliss of sharing in the eternity with Him.
