Though not wanting to die, his greater desire was to be totally devoted to the Father, represented by the burnt offering. His Gethsemane experience was one of putting off the flesh in order to be obedient by his spirit. This is prophesied by the 'limping side' hidden in the account of the formation of Eve, the bruised heel of the seed of the woman in Genesis, and the withered thigh of Jacob.
His death was real, and is represented in scripture as two deaths: one of the flesh and one of the Spirit. Though there was only one death, the imagery is that both the Son of Man died, and the Son of God died (as 'roles'). He was literally resurrected in the flesh. However his nature as the Son of Man; the one who had emptied himself, was not resurrected. In resurrection he took up his former glory as the Son of God, using and enjoying all of the divine attributes to which he had formerly closed his eyes. 'Closing his eyes' is used to illustrate that we do not go blind when we choose to close our eyes. Neither had Jesus given up any part of the divinity that he simply chose not to use prior to the cross. He was physically resurrected, but not to his prior stae state of 'emptiness' or kenosis' but in his full divine right.
Jesus fulfilled all four offices of revelation, being the Word incarnate. He was THE prophet, teaching the doctrine of the cross. He was THE judge, reproving us and removing all our excuses for sin by being tempted without sin. He became THE priest in resurrection correcting the failures due to our sin; making things right. And he was THE king, not only having discipline of his own flesh, but teaching us to discipline ours as well. He was portrayed as a sickly priest before the cross, unable to perform his priestly duties until the resurrection.
