Hebrews 2:18 reminds us that Jesus was tempted and struggled through those temptation. But I don't think the point of his victory over temptations was to show us that life COULD be lived sin free. I think the Hebrew writer reveals that Jesus' temptation were to enable him to empathize with us. So that the untemptable God could experience to agony of sin's attraction. Because God in the flesh chose to stand beside us as our peer he could offer us a gift; to choose to stand beside him as a peer in his glorified righteousness. A gift he had prepared before the beginning of time.
