I think sometimes we are so focused on Christ being without sin that we forget that He had the same struggles against the flesh that we have. Two passages in particular come to mind...Hebrews 5:8

Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;

where we see Him had to learn to obey and Matthew 16:23 23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

where we see Him talking about satan putting a stumbling block or trap for Him...not unlike what we see in the temptations but a little more direct. I think sometimes it is important to remember that He also struggled in the flesh.
