all I can offer is my perspective from the lesson as I learn it for myself but here's what I take from the story of the cross.

Jesus admitted his spirit was weak at that moment. He spoke the words to allow his spirit to weaken in my view. To ensure his last breaths were a reflection of his human life form so that all might know that he felt and carried our human pains. He'd mustered every bit of strength from his spirit consciousness, his true essense, the source of our true essense to make it to the cross. Through the most difficult and inhumane of circumstances he stayed in spirit consciousness. Until the last moment.

Those last moments his physcial consciousness felt and cryed from the pain. He let go of the protection of his spirit consciousness to show us that he knew the effects and the horrors of suffering that comes from a disconnection from spirit.

He was assending to heaven and teaching us that assension is a choice. A giving up of the physical and acknowledging the spiritual. He was already showing us to choice heaven's way. He was further affirming that we had to power to choice the way of paridise for ourselves when our time of testings come.

Again... on the topic of heaven... I don't see Heaven as a destination one qualifies for but more of a dimension of timelessness one choices to experience. It exists always and forever and we have a choice to experience it in all of its dimensions during our physical and spiritual timeframes.

It's like with God.... if we try to crasp the essense of a supreme being within the context of our limited human form and consciousness then we won't be able to crasp the spirit of God without putting 'Him' into some human context and then 'He' becomes judgeable. An automatic disconnect. A hell of a decision that is the opposite of heaven..

If we think of Heaven and Hell as physical destinations or even compare them to our perspective of physical destinations rather than see them as themselves spiritual consciousnesses, then we are going to, in my my view, miss the truth. There in begins the role of faith and admiration for the enormity of creation. The cause of worship if you will. Too awesome for words... too awesome for the human psychi to comprehend. An admiration and appreciation expressed best in song and praise. Makes me want to sing just thinking about it. wow....
