Temptation that Only Jesus Can Know

If Jesus never sinned, then can he really understand how strong our temptations are? 19th century bishop B.F. Westcott gives a thoughtful answer.

“Endurance involves more, not less, than ordinary human suffering: sympathy with the sinner in his trial does not depend on the experience of sin but on the experience of the strength of the temptation to sin which only the sinless can know in its full intensity. He who falls yields before the last strain.”

-B.F. Westcott, The Epistle to the Hebrews (1892 A.D.)
