REFERENCE TEXT: Hebrews 7:26
TOPIC: "The sinlessness of Christ"

INTRO: We have learned that Jesus was born without sin, without a sin nature, by virtue of the fact that He was virgin-born, without a human father. In this lesson, we go one step farther and show that Jesus lived His whole life without sin, without committing a sin.

I. The proofs of the sinlessness of Christ.

1. Acts 4: 27; 30 - occurs twice, signifying that from birth He was holy, pure and sinless.
2. Luke 4:34 - The demons recognize Jesus as the "Holy One of God".
3. 1 John 3: 5 - The strongest proof of the sinless of Christ is not the testimony of the devils but the plain, inspired word
   of God. We believe God's Word is true.

II. The testimonies regarding the sinlessness of Christ.
a. A clear testimony from a responsible judge under authority. - John 18:38
b. The thief on the cross. - Luke 23:41
c. A disciple of our Lord Jesus, who saw the miracles, heard His teachings and observed Him closely. - Mat. 27: 4

2. Being human and sinless it guarantees a perfect mediator. 1 Timothy 2: 5
3. Being human and sinless He becomes an acceptable sacrifice on Calvary for our sins. - John 1:29
