Flawless character

Luke 23:13-15,41,47

1. What did people acknowledge about Christ?

They examined Christ and realized he has done nothing to deserve death. The centurion, seeing what had happened, praised God and said, "Surely this was a righteous man."

Hebrews 7:11-28

2. What divided Jesus from other religious leaders?

Jesus is one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens. Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself. For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever.
