What was the actual sacrifice that Jesus made?

Ahh. Getting somewhere now. If the sacrifice was being seperated from the Father, why did he need to be crucified?

I would assume for the same reason He was incarnated as a man. so we would know and understand what was happening spiritually.

Doesn't this imply that during Jesus' life the holy trinity became the holy duo ?

According to Revelations Christ still retains power and Authority as a member of the God Head, but we do not know what the full extent of His sacerfice meant.

Yes, I like your explanation too, Drich. Crucifixion was (at the time) thought by many to be the worse way to go. I've heard that the Latin from which we get the word excruciating means something like out of the cross. It shows the extent to which Jesus was willing to suffer for us.
