When the Father sent Jesus, it was to live the purest life necessary to be the sacrificial lamb worthy to provide atonement for sins for all. He had to live a very pure life indeed. We can learn about pure living from the records in the gospels of how he lived. He lived in such a way that the sins listed in Revelation 21:8 did not apply to him. He was courageous. He never lied. He never held a grudge but let his anger come and go quickly without letting it linger. He refused temptation to worship anyone other than the Father. He often had dealings with prostitutes to help them but never encouraged prostitution nor got involved with it. He was called the friend of sinners, yet it was only to help them turn for sin, and to encourage them in right and merciful living. He avoided drugs and avoided in his teachings any suggestion of others using them. The Good Samaritan story involved a man treating an injured stranger and he used only wine and oil and bandages, plus use of an inn to provide food and sleep for the injured man. At his crucifixion Jesus avoided a drug commonly used for those executed on hurt in battle, called gall. One account says he refused it completely. Another implies he might eventually have accepted it before he died, but clearly he was not inclined to take drugs. He preferred simple practical nursing and kindness, both in his life and his teachings. He was raised back to life by the Father after that crucifixion, because of his perfect living, and because he is the only begotten son of the Father. Look at the description of the impure in Revelation 21:8, and then look at how it was that Jesus did not live like that. We need to learn from him so that we too can escape condemnation and have eternal life through him.
