Jesus Christ is God in flesh, who came to earth to save His people from their sins (Matthew 1:21), and the way He accomplished this was by living a perfect life that is free from sin, and then dying on a cross for the sins of His people.
By all rights everyone in this world should die for their sins, for it was our sins that put Jesus Christ upon the cross. But Jesus Christ endured the agonies of the cross and died for the sins of all that would come unto Him in repentance.
3 Days after Jesus was crucified, He rose from the dead and defeated the grave and now lives forever more, and one day will return to judge the living and the dead (2 Timothy 4:1).
