I'm going to work through Luke with my kids this semester and since we covered most of the birth narratives during Advent, we're starting in chapter 3. I'm looking at the temptations Jesus endured in chapter 4, and am wondering - could He have actually sinned? Could He have succumbed to the temptation?
Thoughts and on-line resources are greatly appreciated.

About Me

AS kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies draw flame;
As tumbled over rim in roundy wells
Stones ring; like each tucked string tells, each hung bell's
Bow swung finds tongue to fling out broad its name;
Each mortal thing does one thing and the same:
Deals out that being indoors each one dwells;
Selves -- goes itself; myself it speaks and spells,
Crying What I do is me: for that I came.
I say more: the just man justices;
Keeps grace: that keeps all his goings graces;
Acts in God's eye what in God's eye he is --
Christ -- for Christ plays in ten thousand places,
Lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not his
To the Father through the features of men's faces.
Gerard Manley Hopkins

"First, if you're going to talk about this question, it is essential that you familiarize yourself and your students with Chalcedon and St. Maximus the Confessor. Period. You can't avoid heresy without a foundation in the theandric union and the two wills in Christ."
Thanks for the reference - I'll see if I can't locate his writings in my Church Father's volume. But this made me laugh - not at your suggestion, just the idea of trying to familiarize them with St Maximos and Chalcedon. I'm still struggling for them to get a grip on the definition of of the word "Trinity" much less a grasp on its reality! :)
