Yeah, He had to bypass the sin nature that is passed on from every human in the lineage of Adam. This is called original Sin, or original corruption. In Adam all die, but in Christ all shall be made alive. He had to be the spotless sacrifice (lamb), without blemish, so therefore the virgin birth by the Holy Spirit. He had no sin nature (as a man) so He would never want to sin, and His body would be the perfect sacrifice. You see? He could be tempted, but it was not in his nature to sin. Plus He was God too, and God cannot be tempted by evil. Meaning the lust to do evil comes from within and that is not in the character of God. (James 1:13)
We sin because we are born sinners, and then we chose to sin when we are old enough and held accountable for sin. I mean, we do not have to teach children to do bad things, right? We all gravitate toward the bad and being rebellious-and some more than others.
So even children are sinners by birth and when they become accountable for their actions, they choose to sin. So we are all guilty before God, even if we did not sin in the same way Adam did. Adam was mankind's representative, and also sin is passed on through procreation. (Romans 3-5) This is what Scripture teaches.God starting teaching us in the garden of Eden that an innocent animal had to die and shed it's blood in order to "cover" or sin and shame. This continued on with the animal sacrifices of Israel, and finally to Jesus, the perfect, without blemish, Lamb of God, that was sent to take away the sins of the world(those who would believe in him).
So that is the "why".
1st Cor 15,
20But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep. 21For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive
Is 53,
6All of us like sheep have gone astray,
Each of us has turned to his own way;
But the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all
To fall on Him.
7He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet He did not open His mouth;
Like a lamb that is led to slaughter,
And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers,
So He did not open His mouth.
Ps 51,
1Be gracious to me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness;
According to the greatness of Your compassion blot out my transgressions.
2Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity
And cleanse me from my sin.
3For I know my transgressions,
And my sin is ever before me.
4Against You, You only, I have sinned
And done what is evil in Your sight,
So that You are justified when You speak
And blameless when You judge.
5Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
And in sin my mother conceived me.
6Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being,
And in the hidden part You will make me know wisdom.
