"He (Jesus) is a truly human being, tempted in every respect just like we are, and he can therefore sympathize fully with our weakness and the pressure we find ourselves under. (Indeed, you could say that he knows more about it than we ever will, since we are inclined to yield to temptation and so never to face its full fury, whereas he, who never sinned, had to go on battling against it without the relief of giving in.)"
I have never thought about it this way. I don't think I can ever imagine how hard that was for Jesus to "go on battling against it without the relief of giving in". Wow...
