Jesus Christ was without sin, but He was crucified for the sins of the whole world.

JESUS was crucified for all our sins. Plain and simple. HE took it all when HE was nailed to that old rugged cross. He is our way out of all our mess if you would only believe. All the hard work, HE has done, we just have to come to HIM freely and accept HIM as our SAVIOUR. HE is indeed my SAVIOUR and I belong to HIM.

I want you to read this http://peace.mennolink.org/cgi-bin/m.pl?a=172 Jesus was abig time social reformer. HE challenged roman empire singlehandedly and without any voilent means. what this article highlights is 1.Jesus taught the way of nonviolence and peace 2.Jesus made healing contact with the "unclean" and social outcasts (e.g., lepers). 3.Jesus' healing freed many from financial dependence 4.Jesus offered healing free from its brokerage by an unjust Temple system 5.Jesus challenged the religious and social boundaries of his society, which defined holiness as separation, by having table fellowship with "tax-collectors and sinners" (labels for a distinct social group of outcasts deprived of certain civil rights 6.Jesus challenged the purity/holiness system of his society, which ostracized those who could not observe its detailed regulations 7.Jesus broke down socially constructed gender barriers by associating with women and having women as disciples 8.Jesus challenged Roman occupation and tribute/allegiance to Caesar and Rome with the bigger issue of tribute/allegiance to God 9.Jesus prophetically critiqued the injustices of the Temple system and its elite leaders 10.When he was arrested, Jesus told Peter to put away his sword, for "those who live by the sword will die by the sword" (Matt. 26:51-53). Jesus could have called upon a heavenly army to protect him, but violent resistance to Rome was not on Jesus' political agenda. 11.Jesus was crucified as a political criminal, as an enemy of the state, between two bandits ,refusing to pay taxes to Caesar , for violently resisting economic injustices,threatening to destroy the Temple ,claiming to be a messianic king He was a reformer and a true leader of the people and this was the main reason he was killed.
