Why is it important that Jesus was sinless? I think most of the time, we think of it in terms of his sacrifice on the cross, that he needed to be an unblemished sacrifice. Although that idea is important, I think we really miss an important point when that is our focus. Jesus' life was a "do-over" for each of us who believes in him; where we were disobedient at every stage of life, Jesus was obedient; where we have been thoroughly sinful at every stage, he has been thoroughly pleasing to the Father. Jesus was born "under the law to redeem those under the law" (Galatians 4:4-5), and when we unite with Jesus Christ in faith, his history replaces our history, allowing God to redeem that which was previously worthless to be worthy heirs of His kingdom.
