Every situation is different but if Christ could go through the world without sin, and we are to imitate Christ, what should that tell us?

Christ went through the world without sin because He is God.

He fulfilled the law perfectly because no one else could.

We are not to imitate Him, but to allow Him to live His life through us.

[HarleyD]

Christ went through the world without sin because He is God.

Php 2:5-8  Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.    And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 

Heb 4:15  For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.

Christ emptied Himself and took on a human form being tempted as we are-yet without sin. He knows exactly (and more so) what we go through and we can't complain to God he never experienced what we have. This is the incarnation.

We are not to imitate Him, but to allow Him to live His life through us.

1 Co 11:1  Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.
