"Christ, 'holy,
innocent, and undefiled,' knew nothing of sin, but came only to expiate the
sins of the people. – Catechism of the Catholic Church 827.
Jesus was Holy and knew nothing
about sin but he was sacrificed by God on the cross of Calvary for atonement of
our sins.
God from the beginning wanted to
save people from sin, that’s why He sent so many prophets to them but most of
them did not listen to the prophets and did as they wished. More they went far from God more they had to
go through sufferings and because of unbearable pain in it they cried out to
God, God because of His love and mercy He sent someone to save them after that
also they were following God for a little time and again did the same thing and
again they went through sufferings. This happened many times as mentioned in
the Bible.
Because of this God had to implement
His master plan of sending His only son to the World. God is Spirit that is why
He had to send His only son in Human form and that’s why he chose Mary out of
the entire world to be the mother of Jesus. She became spouse of the Holy
Spirit and conceived God’s only son in her womb. Mother Mary became partner
with God to bring forth His only son into this world.
Jesus was born and raised in a
devout family and learned everything and accepted everything befell on Him and
surrendered everything in the hands of His father. Jesus was always
communicating with His father through prayer and was obedient to His father
until His death.
Jesus was full of Grace, that’s why
He was Holy, Innocent and without any sin from His birth till His death. Jesus
was persecuted, beaten, spit upon, scourged, crowned with thorns, made to carry
the heavy cross to Calvary, nailed Him on the cross, pierced on His side and
died on the cross only to bear all the punishment due to our sin.
Jesus has been given authority to
forgive sins on this earth because He carried our sins on the cross and died
for us so that we may live by looking at His sacrifice. Let us honour the
sacrifice of Jesus so that we may give up our sinful life and live a life of
Grace.
