“What was the actual sacrifice that God made?. I said “ If Jesus is the Son part of the holy trinity then he is co-eternal in Christian doctrine (I've done my homework) so he has existed for all eternity. Therefore he has always known that he will come to earth and occupy a human body for 30 years and then be crucified, go to hell for 3 days (a place which he himself had made) re-animate his dead crucified body and ascend to heaven to be Lord of the universe for eternity again – where's the sacrifice?” Apart from the undeniable agony of a crucifixion death doesn't seem much else."
Perhaps the theists on this forum can answer this for me.

The problem with your question for me is that I don't consider "Jesus" to be God.
His name doesn't support that. His words don't support that. His actions don't support that.
I also don't believe in "hell", so to me, your question is a loaded one.
