You are not wrong about His ability but don't seem to consider the whole narrative. Jesus absolutely could come and go, but it can be demonstrated that he limited Himself to the abilities of humanity to the point of being murdered and that it was His Father who brought Him back to life. It's faith in some kind of narrative for all of us. I'm real comfy with what I find in Jesus's in the Bible.
I don't disagree with you. I am just asking, what exactly did Jesus sacrifice in the story? Any suggestions?
I don't share your point that sacrifice implies a finality of what is sacrificed. Like money, for example, can be sacrificed and regained. Surely some things are irreplaceable but not all things.
His sacrifice was His life. It is to be accepted that He gave Himself, being one who did everything right and nothing wrong, in the place of those who didn't and did, to take the consequence of the offences on behalf of the offenders. He did this by volunteerily limiting Himself to the abilities of a common man. If He would not of restrained Himself as so, yeah, I'd agree with you, it would have been no big deal. But as the story goes, He did die a human's death and was risen as a human. Whether you or I believe it doesn't change that He sacrificed His human life. If you're interested maybe read Philippians chapter 2 or The Gospel of John.
