quick question about christianity

Short answer: his Ego before man.

What did Jesus sacrifice? As we've seen, many will debate there was much of any sacrifice since Jesus is God. Et cetera, et cetera.

Suppose God did send his son, one with himself, down to Earth for the benefit of his human creation. This man felt what regular men feel. Pain, rightious anger, frustration, even doubts..."Father, please let this cup pass from me.." He has a common theme and lives and dies by it. He does not stop his accusers. He turns the other cheek. He, son of God, allows himself to be humiliated before man. His apostle Judas turns him in: he knows it and allows it to happen. Peter denies him. Jesus knows it and allows it to happen. Thomas doubts. A sacrifice? Or a lesson for behaviour?

All just meaningless in the context of infinity, all-knowingness, all-powerfullness? Seems like it, using the our rational minds.



So what else did he sacrifice? His ego before man. In hopes we would learn from it.

That's my take. And I'm not a Christian nor religious. At least in the religions of mankind.
