The Golden Chain - Robert J. Wieland

Note the point: for Satan to "have nothing in
Me" means "there was no sin in Him that Satan
could use to his advantage," and sin is yielding to
temptation, cherishing sinful desire. We must
remember that a sinful nature is not the same as a
sinning nature. Ours has been a sinning nature,
true; but not Christ's. And while we are still in
sinful flesh, still with a sinful nature, we too can
overcome, for "this is the condition in which those
must be found who shall stand in the time of
trouble." The only alternative to this Great
Controversy statement (p. 623) is "holy flesh"
either for the saints in the time of trouble or for
Christ in His incarnation, neither of which can be
true.
Christ gained total victory over the power of
sin which has its seat in the flesh. His mind was the
mind of the Spirit and never yielded or consented
to the desires of the flesh. Thus Satan "had
nothing" in Him. Says Peter, "Arm yourselves also
with the same mind" (1 Peter 4:1).
