In the old testiment times God required from his people a sacrifice, a blood sacrifice, to pay for or atone for the sins of His people, the Israelites or Jews. Usually the sacrifice was a ram, goat, sheep or bull, spotless and without blemish, brought to the alter and killed as a holy sacrifice this was required regularly at the temple in Jerusalem.
As the prophets fortold about the chosen one, Jesus, would be sent by God the Father as ransom sacrifice for the sins of the world. "For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him." John 3:16-17
Jesus was "The lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world". Because Jesus was "spotless" and "without blemish" or sinless He was the only acceptable sacrifice for that purpose. He , Jesus is the Jewish Messiah and thec savior of all those who trust God and put thier faith in Him. That is the good news, or "Gospel" that we as Christians believe and are commissioned to spread all over the earth as a testimony to Gods truth and Word. If you believe that Jesus died for your sins and was ressurected say the following prayer out loud and accept Jesus today. He really does love us and wants us with Him in His kingdom.
