It was important for Jesus to be sinless because when man sinned, man sinned in the flesh and God had put accountability that man needed to be restored back to him but not through bulls and bullock; in the Old Testament, the saints of old would come to the priest, and they would bring a sacrifice, and they would bring bulls and bullocks and other items. But those items were not satisfactory to appease God's position of his anger because of man's fallen position. And I think that we oftentimes forget about that God is a loving God, he's a gracious God, he's a most important God, he's our Father, but he's also a terrible God, he's also a just God. Terrible in the sense that he does not like sin. He's immutable, he never changes. His view about sin is, still, that it stinks in his nostrils, and though it is one of those things people don't like to talk about, we dwell on grace — thank God for grace — but we have to keep in mind that there's a penalty that God enacted for fallen mankind because of his disobedience. And bulls and bullocks, doves, could not satisfy God's appetite for when it comes to satisfying him because of the fall of man. And what God did, he allowed his son Jesus, and Jesus came; he became incarnate. Well, he couldn't do it in the spirit because man did not sin in the spirit, he sinned in the flesh. And flesh is — nothing good about the flesh. I'm getting to the point when we think about the depravity of man, we think about his fallen condition, we think about how flesh is debased and is miserable. Jesus came in and took on flesh. He became incarnate. He became a soul, and not just in Bethlehem as a little baby in the manger. You know, you both had God and you had Jesus the man, fully divine God and fully man. But the key is, that he differs from mankind, is that he was sinless. He became fully man. He was tempted at all points, but he did not sin. And so when we think about him as being sinless, God would not have any other sacrifice that was marred or that was not worthy. Jesus was worthy because he's the only man that came that was approached at all points and never did sin. He was hampered, he was pushed around, but he did not sin. It makes me think about when he was in the judgment hall and how he was led from Pilot's courtroom, from judgment hall to judgment hall, but he did not sin. And when we think about mere man, our disobedience, we fell into sin. But Jesus, who is sinless, who never made a mistake, who never told a lie, who could not do wrong, who is omniscient, who is omnipresent, he made everything right. He appeased God's anger by hanging on a cross. He appeased God's anger by dying, and then he gave man a right to the Tree of Life by being resurrected the third day morning. So, when we think about his sinlessness, he is the only one — none is perfect but the Father — and that's Jesus Christ. And I would like to say this, thank God that every time Jesus went through a trial and a tribulation, it identifies, keeps, you and I identify with him, because when we go through the same trials, we go through the same problems, we know that he understands because he experienced it all without sin. So, thank God for an advocate, but also thank God that we have a forerunner who has shown us how to live in this life.
