How can it be considered a great sacrifice to die KNOWING that you'll rise from the dead?? That's like me saying that I'll jump out of a plane for your sins, then just deploying my chute. It's not such a loving sacrifice to die knowing that you were not going to STAY dead. How can that be an example of great love?!?
Jesus still felt all the pain of his crucification. Watch the Passion. Jesus felt all of that. He could of at any moment asked for God to send his angels to rescue him but he did not. He indured the unimaginable pain and torture becuase he loves us so much. This is the ultimate showing of love. Enduring all the pain of death and torture even though at any moment he could end it all and go to his father in heaven. Thats how much he loves us!:):):):)
