You make His sacrifice out to be...well, not a sacrifice. If He somehow mystically had "this will make it to where you'll never be able to sin" dust sprinkled on him, big deal if it says He overcame any kind of temptation. There was really no challenge or anything to overcome because it wasn't possible for Him to sin anyway.
You weaken the gospel to suggest such things, making it out to be more like a fairy tale than very real.
His experiencing temptation like we do, yet choosing not to give in for our sakes due to His all too clear and critical understanding of what was at stake in order for us to be redeemed is an awesome thing and we should humbly recognize such a very real sacrifice He made in choosing, of His own free will, to be obedient.
