Thoughts about Christ's Death on the Cross and Sacrifice

The thought - How was Jesus' death on the cross really a sacrifice?
What makes it seem like a diminished sacrifice is that He resurrects three days later.
So it's- God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son... and then got him back.
God didn't really lose much in the deal. Actually, Jesus resurrects improved. Better. Not much of a loss at all.
