...Jesus was raised 3 days later to a wonderful position in the heaven and now reigns as king, apparently. But if a Christian died for a fellow believer, which they regularly tell us from the platform that we should be prepared to do, the person who gave their life would be 'dust' for goodness knows how long, with an unknown future hope.
If someone asked me to die a painful death to save millions of people, knowing I would feel great in a few days' time, I'd probably do what Jesus did too.
