I don't believe Jesus was tempted to sin, by that I mean desirous of doing evil. He was being tempted (or tried even) by the tempter himself (the devil)
James says,
James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
The Spirit might of led Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted but the tempter is not God but the devil
Mat 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
A time of temptation does not necessarily mean what we often mean by it, for example, "I am so tempted by ice cream" its a time of temptation one might go through with the tempter himself
James 1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. (then the "bite")
Jesus loved and worshipped the Father the devil tries tempting him with the things of the world if he would simply fall down and worship him
Mat 4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
Just as we are told
1John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Mat 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
Heb 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Jesus was led by the Spirit "to be" tempted (by the devil) to do evil and was without sin
Gal 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Jesus did not live as one ruled (or controlled) by the lusts of sinful men but the will of God.
James 1:14 But every man is tempted,when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
James 1:15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
He was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Would show that even lust itself did not conceive.
Wouldnt these be considered similar temptations ministers of God might go through also?
Heb 12:3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself,
lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
Things like the dumb crafty questions we see put forth to Christians everyday (even on CF)
Luke 20:23 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?
But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?
They are considered to be tempting him (not sincere)
Mark 12:15 Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy,
said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.
Mat 19:3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him,
Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
Mat 22:35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him,
and saying, Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
John 8:6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him.
Rev 2:3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured,
and hast not fainted.
Heb 12:3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself,
lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
James 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried,
he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
Would seem like there is more in that kind of temptation daily
