Jesus and Sin Day 32
Jesus said, "Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don't you believe me?"1 Jesus was challenging those friends and family and others who knew him to point out any sins that they remembered Jesus committing. Of course, they could not think of any. Jesus had not sinned and therefore, he claimed he made the perfect sacrificial lamb to God for human sin. Paul writes, "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."2
Jesus' family , friends and colleagues could not even remember a single lie that he had told. Peter confirms this truth, "He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth."3 Again John, the disciple whom Jesus loved, confirmed the same truth, "But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin."4 This quality of Jesus, called Omniscience, is shown quite clearly in his discussions about the thorny subject of taxes to the government. When they came together in Galilee, he said to them, "The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men. They will kill him, and on the third day he will be raised to life." And the disciples were filled with grief.
