I guess I was confused in thinking that Jesus, being the second Adam, was created under the same circumstances as Adam, without the curse of sin, but in reality He was born under the law and the curse of the law with all the effects of sin; sickness and death and the miserableness of life. Being tempted just like Adam, but without,sin, He earned eternal life for us. Then being raised from the dead gained His glorified body.

"Man is retarded by the sluggishness of the flesh, and make's less progress than he ought. The Law acts like a whip to the flesh, urging it on as men do a lazy sluggish ass. Even in the case of a spiritual man, inasmuch as he is still burdened with the weight of the flesh, the Law is a constant stimulus, pricking him forward when he would indulge in sloth."-John Calvin Book II, chapter 7 sec. 12
