Everyone is a sinner…
Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
From <[link]> 

…Except Jesus. He had no sin.
Hebrews 4:15
or we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin.
From <[link]> 
Sin separates us from a Holy God.
Upon sinning Adam & Eve were forced from the Garden.
The Ark of the Covenant represents God's manifest presence and anyone who touched it died. This shows separation.
Sin & Separation requires a MEDIATOR.
1 Tim 2:5
For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus.
From <[link]> 
Hebrews 9:15
For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.
From <[link]> 
A mediator must be able to represent 2 parties.
Christ can represent God because He is in nature God.
Christ can represent man because He is in nature man.
Through Christ's atonement a new covenant is mediated and we are reconciled back to a Holy God.
