Christ is then returned to the fullness of life and so conquers death paving the way forward to immortality and an eternal release from all worldly suffering. It's not just a Jew nailed to some wood there's a lot going on there.
I'll bet the sacrifices to Inca gods and the priests who prepared them said similar things. It sounds even more weird coming out of your mouth in this day and age.
