A will is like a covenant that comes into effect as a result of death. In the same way, if a covenant is to have effect, there needs to be blood. For this reason, Jesus has become our ransom in the New Testament. First, He needs to be without sin. If He had sin, how could He save others? Those who have sin cannot redeem others from their sin. The one who can save us from sin, must be a sinless Savior, which is Christ Jesus!
.
Second, He must have the identity of a man in order to understand the suffering of man. Jesus came in the flesh for us. He understands our limitations and weaknesses, and bore our suffering. When you are suffering, what you cannot stand most is someone tapping your shoulders and saying, "I understand it all." Your heart will be thinking, "How would you understand?" The truth is no one understands the suffering that we are going through ourselves. No matter what suffering someone else has gone through, it is different from what you are going through right now. Who can say that they understand? It is impossible! Yet today Jesus lives in us and He truly understands us. He has experienced the same suffering with us and can help us overcome!

On the cross of Calvary, Jesus completely defeated the power of the devil and brought us peace, joy and satisfaction. The Lord can be our help and strength, if we would come to Him and ask. The grace of God is sufficient for us. No matter what difficulties you have in life, you can come before the Lord to seek Him. Jesus Christ is our high priest, He is our help and strength, and He can be our soulmate. Fix your eyes on Jesus and give your life to Him!
