I could not disagree more deeply with this sort of framing, it may be that semanitics plays a large role in my disagreement, but I think that Christianity appears to have been almost completely inverted.
I believe Jesus gave people the greatest gift possible by refusing to sacrifice himself & refusing to sacrifice reality to arbitrary authority. Being true to reality & to who you are, even when faced with death, gives people back their lives. It gives them the freedom to be true to who they are too. The sacrifice (giving up one's highest value) would have been to deny the truth & to go on living as a slave to the arbitrary authority of someone else.
The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie. One word of truth outweighs the world.
