Note, 1. That tho Christ was God, his humane nature was acted by the Holy Ghost, to whom in Scripture is ascribed Divine perfection of operation on creatures. 2. Man was overcome by the temptation of Satan, and so sin and death and all evil did invade mankind; Therefore our Redeemer must deliver us from sin and Satan, and Misery, by conquering the tempter in his way of Temptation, by which he conquered: To give us also notice that the warfare preparatory to our future state, is managed by overcoming temptations, or being overcome by them. And therefore the study of temptations and the resistance is a great part of the Christian life. 3. Christ cast not himself on temptations, but was led to it by the Spirit. 4. To be temped is no sin.
