Temptations

I was always confused about Jesus being tempted by the devil (The three temptations) and the dual nature of Jesus (Jesus being fully God and fully man)

And here is an interesting discussion I had with a Theologian which cleared the question I had.

"Jesus was tempted dy the devil because he was human like us.

But he overcame it because of His Divine nature.

Even we have the Divine in us.

God has been merciful to give us the feel of the divine nature (Remember we have the Holy Spirit who dwels in us -- We are the temple of (God) the Spirit of God (Corinthians).

So even when our human nature is tempted we can turn to the Divine in us and ask for help to overcome the temptation. With out the help of the Divine we have no power to overcome temptations.
