What was the point of Jesus sacrificing himself only to be unsacrificed later?

If you sacrifice something is should be put beyond use or not used again, This is why sacrificed weapons are usually found broken. jesus’s body was reused, thus voiding the preceding sacrifice, so what was the point?

He died, the deed was done. He then rose again, it did not diminish the power of what happened. It was the only way we could have eternal life and our sins would be wash away.
What cruel God would send His only son to be part of one of the most painful ways of death none to man if there were other ways to wash away our sins?
"It is in fact more important to know what God did to Israel, to His Son Jesus Christ, than to seek what God intends for us today..I find no salvation in my life history but only in the history of Jesus Christ"

The sacrifice was the shedding of innocent blood.. not making the sacrifice "useless". The resurrection is the center of the hope that christians have of the world to come and their eternity there.

Obviously, you’ve missed the point; his body was not re-used as such.
He lay down his earthly body for all of us & took on a glorified one.
He gave us his body & blood in the eucharist to sustain us for life.

The difference between Christ’s sacrifice any sacrifice that we could make is not we cannot die for someone’s sin, because we sin as well. If Jesus had remained dead, there would not be any victory over death for us. Jesus is Lord and He rose from the grave so that we could have victory over the grave as well.

The point was that by His death, and burial our sins were washed away…by His resurrection, and ascension, we were given everlasting life, and access to the very throne room of God…the same God who created our universe…our 12 billion light year diameter universe.

Speaking as a person who has been hurt, the pain of being hurt is still a sacrifice even if the wounds heal. If the biblical accounts are to be believed, 2000 years later Jesus will still bear the emotional scars of the flogging, mocking, and crucifixion.
Furthermore the bible says we will all be raised from the dead, the righteous and the unrighteous, the righteous to everlasting glory and honour and the unrighteous to everlasting shame and contempt. So Jesus hasn’t had any special benefit, except maybe being allowed to jump the queue so he can be the firstborn from among the dead, everyone else just has to wait for the final trumpet in a state that the bible isn’t exactly clear about, forcing the readers to fill in the blanks with speculation.
