I hear more often than not from knowledgeable Christians that although Jesus is God, God did not die on the cross – Jesus’ humanity did.
When bodies die they remain in the grave until resurrection but the soul will remain conscious in the intermediate state doing what souls can do without a body.

Was the death of the body sufficient to do away with Jesus’ sovereign rule over the universe?
