Jesus was a fully human being who experienced a loss of energy, a need for spiritual refreshment in prayer, and he was sorrowful, experiencing grief, and needed physical rest. He experienced temptation as a man with all of these finite limitations.Although He was tempted, He did not have a desire to fulfill that temptation. He was unable to sin, it was impossible for Him to sin. We, on the other hand, are unable not to sin - it is impossible in this life for us to be sinless. It is widely believed that the ability to resist temptation is a matter of having more self-control than the temptation itself. However, this belief is misguided and leads to more defeats than victories. A person who believes this will often take on more than they can handle in an attempt to prove their willpower, but in the end, they will always fail. Temptation does not arise from our will being equal to the object that is pleasant to us. That is no will at all. Rather, the will is what is most pleasing to our sight. We choose what we love the most by our understanding of the object. We cannot say that the object's power caused us to choose it. In that case, the more power we exerted, the less responsible we would be, even if we succumbed to it. That is how we naturally think about the will from our upbringing.We often play games with ourselves in our minds, trying to rationalize our actions and make ourselves feel better. For example, we may tell ourselves that we didn't commit adultery, even though we lusted after someone, because at least we didn't act on our desires. Or we may think that the amount of time we spent lusting after someone is offset by the good we have done by overcoming our former ways. However, all of this is a lack of understanding about the will and the reasons why we choose one thing over another. The reality is that we cannot resist temptation on our own. We would fail every time if we had to use our own strength to overcome temptation. However, if we saw that overcoming temptation is possible with some help from others or with some concentration, we might be able to resist it. In the end, though, we think will only be able to overcome temptation if we do it in our own power. Or if we think that it is our self-determination that is necessary to overcome temptation. Even though Christ sweat drops of blood while He was being tempted, He did not sin. This is because He had the perfect righteousness as the cause of His choice to resist temptation. He was pleased to resist and that was the cause of Him being fully able to resist. He was fully praiseworthy throughout His life, because He was divine.He resisted every temptation in order to please His Father, and He did so knowing that it would lead to His sacrifice. He chose to be the perfect sacrifice, and He experienced every cause and effect of that choice so that He would be worthy of praise. What we want most is the reason for what we select. When we become new in Christ, we are given different spiritual desires. We become more aware of what we desire by a new divine light that opens our spiritual eyes to what is truly wanted in the spiritual affections. However, we still have the remains of sin. So that we are corrupted in our desires. And even though we choose spiritual things as being good, they are only seen as filthy rags by Him.We need a righteousness that is not corrupted. This righteousness comes from a righteous heart that is not influenced by sin. This righteousness is imputed to us in our justification before God in the court of heaven. Our sin is imputed on Christ. So we are fully exonerated of every sin that we ever committed or will commit.
