Christ has been tested and temped in every area, and He has overcome them all! We can be confident that no matter what we are facing, we can identify with Him and appropriate His victory in that area.
Yahshua was fully God and fully Man. However, His assignment of coming to the Earth to redeem mankind and restore that relationship depended on Him identifying as the Son of Man. He had to be a man in order to represent mankind on the cross. If Yahshua had chosen to respond to Satan as the Son of God, He would have forfeited His right to represent mankind.
