We are missing the biggest sacrifice. It wasn't the torture beating and hanging on the cross but it was coming here with full knowledge/choice and not partaking in the temptations of this world. There is something tempting about this place that even angels have fallen victim to its alure. He said nah he will not have a palace even though he could, nah he won't have a all the wine and women, nah he'll live amongst the woods in the streets and who ever will shelter him, like a vagrant knowing he has such a short time here. Mid 30s thats all, a young man never getting to feel the breakdown of old age, Grey hair, and watching your grandchildren play in your front yard and remembering raising hell your your buddies at the saloon. He didn't have a life like ours and never will at all he gave it all. His whole run.
Also: He who has no shadow or darkness in Him had to BECOME sin and pay that price. And He knew just how dark the sins were that He was taking on Himself. He knew how many sins.
I've been awed that the wages of sin is death, but He had no sin in Him....if He had not released His spirit I do not think it could have ended. How amazing that He knew the exact moment it was done. And more amazing that He did this for us.
Sadly. He was going to do a follow up/sequel at one time, looks like may still happen https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5795232/news
