The Innocent Sacrifice
Commentators stress the critical importance of Jesus' innocence. Though the Jewish leaders found "no cause of death," they demanded his execution. John Calvin explains that for Jesus' death to atone for our sins, He had to be a perfect, guiltless sacrifice. Had He died for His own crime, His death would have no power to save us.
