The "Sacrifice" of Jesus

 

The issue arises concerning what was actually sacrificed by Jesus. If one claims that Jesus' body was "resurrected" then what was sacrificed? Not his life. Not if he got back up. And Christians tell me he is still alive. Therefore his life was not sacrificed.

What then? If only his soul "resurrected", is it not the Christian claim that all souls rise after death? What then was unique about Jesus? It appears that he did nothing more than die, and his soul went to heaven, as Christians claim theirs do. Granted, his body was sacrificed, but with the disdain with which Christianity regards the human body, what's the big loss?
