I agree. And especially the part that he died to raise again.
I believe it was the night before the Crucifixion that he said: "For this reason came I into this world." He was speaking about the Crucifixion.
He also prayed that same night that we would be "One as He and the father were One."
The event of the Cross was actually three events in one that we are a part of. Reconciliation with God at the Cross, coming back to life at the Ressurection, and recieving a new Spirit at Pentecost.
All three of these events have far reaching effects upon us as human beings whether we understand them or not. I have been for years, and will be for probably the rest of my life, receiving awarenesses/revelations about these/this "three in one" events/event.
These realizations are to lead us to the final realization that we are "one with the Father" as Jesus was one with the Father. That is a positive symbol for me. But, as you have pointed out there will always be the "Fliers" yelling "Crucify him". That is the spirit of "Anti-Christ". He was revealed for who he really was in the "Midst of the Week" (when they screamed "crucify him"). Just as Jesus was revealed for who he really was at the end of the same week when he rose again from the dead and defeated death itself.
They were defeated, ...he came back to life! And he poured his Spirit upon "All Flesh".
When you begin to realize the magitude of what happened that week you can't help but feel sorry for those that were participants.
The Son of God stood before them about to give the greatest gift in history... and they killed him.
At some moment, not long after that, maybe at the moment of their deaths, or maybe before that they all came to the realization of what they had done.
And if reincarnation is a fact,... some of us may well have been there.
