That's a good answer.
To the serpent God says, in part, “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel” (Genesis 3:15, KJV).

Brother, Jesus used the Scriptures to stand firm against the πειρασμός (peirasmos) of Satan.

For the record, I remember I didn't read it in a book from Ron Rhodes. He was on a call in program and it was what he said.

My first question is... Why would God do that? Certainly not to prove His son would not bend to the test but maybe to show Satan what he would be up against?
I do not think Satan necessarily knew the divine side of Jesus but may have assume he was a mere mortal. While that is true, I believe Jesus had some inborn safeguards.... just in case.
Mary was mortal. the Holy Spirit certainly was not.

Which reads:
To show to us that (1) Satan is no match against Christ; and (2) to show us that in order to combat and overcome sin we must stick close to what the Bible teaches.
This is reasonable, certainly.
But to assume such it would seem as if God directed Satan to test his Son. (I will not use tempt because Jesus could not be tempted... though possibly Satan did not know that?)
It was right at the start of Jesus' ministry, shortly after His baptism. So could it also not be that Satan , seeing the start of Jesus' ministry, thought if he could just trip Him up in anything that that would bring Jesus' ministry into question?
The victory was assured.
This would be true then and at all other times.

We know that because we know Jesus. But would Satan have known that believing that Jesus as a mortal was any different then
man?

1Co 2:8 which no one of the rulers of this age did know, for if they had known, the Lord of the glory they would not have crucified;
1Co 2:9 but, according as it hath been written, 'What eye did not see, and ear did not hear, and upon the heart of man came not up, what God did prepare for those loving Him—'

Not sure.
Sin makes one delusional. The more oneself is wrapped up in it, then it seems anything goes (i.e., even more delusion).

The Good News
Jesus could be temped to sin but had He fell into the act of sinning He would have failed His mission. And we Know Jesus never fails.
Father's Original Intent
God's original plan in the Garden of Eden was that humanity's first couple (Adam and Eve) would live forever in His loving presence. And in that place of perfect love, they would raise children who would be loved completely as well.
It was the Father's hope that each generation would grow up in the light of His love so that they would never know a day of rejection or pain in their lives. In this perfect place of goodness, each child would flourish and become all that the Father intended for them to be.
Broken Relationships
As a result of Adam and Eve's actions, a new deadly disease called 'sin' infected humanity. The world that God originally intended to be perfect and full of love, was now wrought with pain and suffering because of the consequences of sin.
It is a known fact that hurting people tend to hurt others, which is a legacy that has been passed on from generation to generation from the moment that Adam and Eve left the garden until today.
Jesus Came To Overcome Sin and Death
Christ conquered death because He was sinless. The curse upon mankind in the Garden of Eden, brought about by their sin, was plainly stated: “You will certainly die” (Genesis 2:17). Ever since, we have seen the truth of Romans 6:23, “The wages of sin is death.” But Jesus Christ had no sin (1 Peter 2:22); therefore, death had no power over Him. Jesus’ death was a voluntary sacrifice for our sin, and, given His sinless perfection, His resurrection logically followed. “I lay down my life,” Jesus said, “only to take it up again” (John 10:17).

This makes me think of the difference between having the source of temptation to sin and then actually following it through and taking the temptation.
One is not sinning, but the opportunity is there..the other is sinning by taking it.
So with Jesus .. sin was around Him but He never partook. He couldn't!

He even said so Himself. He said this when temped.
Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
Matthew 4:4
