Its not just life offered up, forfeited and/or surrendered.
Its also a life lost forever. Perished. Destroyed. Someone who is killed, is now dead and stays dead.
Even if we accept your ridiculous premise, the *resurrection* and ascending to heaven as a reward completely negates it.
Thus the glorification renders the whole crucifixion utterly pointless.
