Other than that, no real objections to VB’s commentary. I’m bout half way through.

What does it mean to be tempted? Was it an internal mechanism within Him at
tempting to draw Him away after His own lusts?
Or was it an external, spiritual attack to get Him to fall, beginning with the 40 day fast in the desert all the way to Calvary?
