Immortal, doesn't mean "without pain".
I would venture to say, that question will be answered for you... someday
A few days of pain, die, come back, become emperor of the universe.
Hardly seems like a sacrifice.
Also, no we won't because Christian Mythology isn't real.

So he was in pain…so what? Billions and billion of people have been and are in pain. However excruciating Myth Boy’s pain was, he knew it was temporary and transient - he didn’t even have the fear of dying which accompanies excruciating pain.
It wasn’t a sacrifice. It was an unoriginal myth, a doddle. Odin stringing himself up to Yggdrasil was more sacrificial.

Could you get the holy spirit to provide you an answer on this one and get back to us, please?

Well, I see the village idiot has wandered back into town, once again spewing nonsense about his imaginary friend.

Rewrite of the Prometheus legend, I suspect. The Hebrews didn't do much original work.
Different motives.
