The Answerer

“No.” Now there is a pretty short answer. ‘How come?’ you may ask. Well several times he told his disciples : “I have come to do the will of Him (God) who sent me,” and other statements like that. Jesus is referred to as ‘The Sinless Son of God’. In all of the Old Testament – from the time of The Ten Commandments up to the time of Jesus, when a sacrifice to God was made, it had to be: “…a lamb, a goat or bullock without blemish. God did not appreciate damaged, injured, or sick animals for the sacrifice, i.e. damaged goods.

The sacrifice was made to ‘…cover the sins of the person offering the sacrifice.’...and it cost them money too! God got very, very angry when people who knew better, offered imperfect sacrifices (sick or injured animals) and punished them for it.

So, in order to ‘…die for our sins’, Jesus knew that to sin would make him unacceptable to God as a sacrifice for us. He therefore kept himself – with God’s help – free from sin.
