My sticking point was similar. How jesus’ sacrifice was so noble and he died to save everyone who came before, and will come after. Like yea sure thats a big deal, but how many people would take that trade? “Literally all of humanity… or me?” If you presented mortals with that option, mortals who dont know their father is all powerful god, and who dont know theyre going to be taken to heaven for eternity, how many would still take it?
Hell, most mortals have 1 person in their life they’d sacrifice themselves for. As the number saved goes up, the individual sacrifice seems to lose value imo. It wasnt even like he sacrificed himself for an eternity of suffering. He suffered for a few days… on the scale of eternity, thats pretty insignificant
