"the Son knows personally and experientially what is it like to endure temptation. Jesus was and is without sin. Tempation did not arise from within him, as it does with us. Yet, as true man, Jesus was indeed tempted. Only one who resists temptation feels its full force."
-commentary from Spirit of the Reformation Bible

i like that last statement. it's kind of like not fully knowing how high a mountain is until you've reached the top. when Christ resisted the temptation to turn the stones into loaves of bread, he was resisting an appeal to a biological drive. i never knew that. Christ really experienced every temptation we could face. no, he actually faced greater temptation b/c his authority was being challenged as well. the Lord sympathizes with us. His power really is made perfect in our weakness. awesome.
