The point is that if he came from the loins of King David, meaning that his genetic material came from him, then his body was the same kind of body that his ancestors had. If the sin nature resides in the flesh, as Paul concludes in Romans 7, then Jesus got it too. He inherited it in the same way he would inherit his eye color, hair color, skin color, etc. This does not mean that Jesus was a sinner. It means that he experienced the weakness of the flesh and had to resist the desire of the body to please itself rather than others. His walk of love was a walk of self denial. When he laid down his life for us, it was one of the hardest things he ever did. It was the ultimate walk of self denial. In the cross, the climax of his victory over the flesh was manifested.
