Life after death?

[Purplundy]

Yes, it is. Not because he's no longer dead, but because he knew beforehand that it would be temporary.

First of all, the argument was about whether or not he had actually died, but let's talk about the sacrifice.
True, believing that one's death is permanent was not a sacrifice that Jesus had to make. It's perfectly plausible to experience worse things than Jesus did.
But that's not my point. Maybe Jesus didn't feel the pain of never being able to see his disciples again.
He just felt everything else.
To say that there was absolutely no sacrifice is false because he was killed on the behalf of his cause. He was whipped, carried the cross, and died on it. He just wasn't thinking about how he was never going to fish again.
So this is more like a dad taking a bullet to the knee for his son, limping to a hospital, and having it yanked out with tweezers.
