• Even though deigning to become man, He might have been in wholly different circumstances from most or all. Yet Adam never knew what it was to be a man, as the Lord of glory did from birth onward. From what trial or suffering was He exempted, sin only excepted? and this that He might in due time be of God made sin on the cross, bearing its bitterest consequences? And this we see as the end in view in 18 (“Hebrews 2:16-18” by W. Kelly)
• Temptation means trial; never in Christ's case, what is in fallen man's, inward solicitation to evil. This is what the Holy Spirit expressly denies of Him, and what no one who believed in His person ought to have allowed for a moment. Lustful experience or sin is incompatible with the Holy One of God (“Hebrews 2:16-18” by W. Kelly)
• He suffered-never yielded. We do not suffer when we yield to temptation: the flesh takes pleasure in the things by which it is tempted. (“Hebrews 2” by J.N. Darby)
• That which needs succor is the new man, the faithful heart, and not the flesh. I need succor against the flesh, and in order to mortify all the members of the old man. (“Hebrews 2” by J.N. Darby)
• The suffering is through not yielding to the temptation. If we yield, the flesh does not suffer; on the contrary, it indulges itself by the temptation, finding its pleasure in the thing by which it is tempted….never for a moment yielded to the temptation. This entailed suffering. He endured hunger rather than yield to the devil’s temptation. (“The Glory of the Son of Man: Hebrews 2:5-18” by H. Smith)
