What does it mean that Jesus died as a lamb without blemish?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus dying as a lamb without blemish means His sacrifice was perfect and sinless, qualifying Him as the only acceptable substitute for our sin.

The idea of Jesus as a lamb without blemish refers to Old Testament sacrificial laws where only a perfect lamb could be offered for sin. This not only underscores His innocence but also the theological principle that a sinless victim is required to bear the sins of others (1 Peter 1:19). Because He was without sin, He could fully represent His people in their place, thus ensuring righteousness is imputed to them. This theme of substitutionary atonement is foundational to understanding the effectiveness of the Gospel.
