My point is that as we are told, God 'gave his only son to save us' it seems to me that this is no sacrifice at all. Firstly he didn't GIVE his son as Jesus joined him in Heaven so rather brought him home. Secondly, Jesus would have gone from a life on earth of poverty in an arid land surviving on food handouts to living forever in the paradise of Heaven. Hardly a sacrifice is it? Thirdly, as he could raise the dead/cure the blind etc., then I doubt a little pain relief on the cross would be too difficult for him. So please explain why all the fuss about his 'giving his life' when in fact it would have been jackpot time! Genuine question asked respectfully by the way.
