Why say
I need to ask why Jesus didn't sin?
It's you that wants an answer, isn't it?
Not in the least.
Since He didn't sin, it's pointless to speculate on what might have happened.
Where is the pointlessness when He WON THE VICTORY? Over what, dazed??
"And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory." Luke 21:27 (KJV) Think: Jesus was the second Adam for a whole new creation, All which was purposed for in the first Adam..
Note: Why did not God immediately destroy Adam and start over?
Had God started a new creation WITHOUT destroying Adam, where would that have placed fallen Adam in the scheme of things. What would have been his relationship with God; Satan? Where would Adam have gone to reside away from the presence of God, hell? And the rest of fallen creation? How would redemption be possible for Adam? If all of that would have been the case then Satan would have won. Satan would have won in killing off God's first creation and now he is going to kill His second creation. NEVER!! That isn't the way it was could ever have been played out. Adam's race had to be redeemed. God's plan for eternity and the whole godhead hung in the balance. Angels were watching this all going down. They would soon make a choice.
The real question, then, is how was it Jesus managed to NOT SIN as Adam did. Wouldn't you say?
Which points up our need for what was IN Him. I.e., the Life of His Father; the Life of the "Word" of God. Ergo, that is what our new birth from above is all about! That is what Jesus was telling Nicodemus in Jn 3:3,5.
Right, He was fully human. In fact, one of the reasons God came in the flesh, was to be tempted as we are.
NO.NO! God has no reason to be tempted in the flesh and if He did He still couldn't be tempted. He created the tempter. Glory in flesh can't be tempted being the result of allegiance to God. It is God. Jesus was of Adam in this period of testing for God to witness as He did Adam. So what is the point in what you said if it is not to point up the vulnerability of the innocense of man, who was made a little lower than the angels? Don't you remember the story of Job? God told Satan to 'go tempt him. Test him to see if he will forsake Me'.
Jesus was tempted in all ways...as we are, that he could make reconciliation between man and God.
His death in innocence reconciled man and restored the "Word" of God to His expressive position in the Godhead. . .but now in Glorified Human Flesh which is what Jesus accomplished.. He did what God could not do insofar as the Father was Spirit and the "Word" of Him, the expression of the Father Who spoke creation into existence; who Moses saw in Exo.33:21-23. Who was sent to earth and made submissive to the human nature of the "body prepared for Me", and given the Name, Jesus, "who would save His people from their sins".
Jesus was tempted even unto His death by satan in an attempt to prevent Him from accomplishing what only He could do. If he had prevailed over Jesus, the man, he would have defeated God Almighty. Remember this: Jesus was God's ONLY begotten son in whose "Life", which represented the Godhead in un-glorified human flesh, all of creation hung in the balance. And now the new born of God are given much the same mission, i,e., become the extention of His Arm until the "Day of the Lord". [Paul] "Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church, of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known,
the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints. Colossians 1:24-26 (ESV)
[Jesus] "And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed. “I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. Now they know that everything that you have given me is from you. For I have given them the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me. I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours. John 17:5-9 (ESV)
Jesus proved His allegince to His Father and sealed the fate of Satan, redeeming mankind in the process; enableling man to BECOME a son of God by the new birth..
Practically, this verse has got to be speaking of the Comforter which was to come.
Heb. 2:18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
OK. I see that. Now how will His success in us be realized unless there is time of testing that we also know we are able to be an extension of His Arm to the 'needy' of this world?
Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Think Pentecost. Think this through from Paul when he wrote: ". . . . I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20 (KJV)
Hope this summary is helpful.
Thank you.
