This passage is considered one of the most sacred of passages because Jesus had to have shared it himself to his disciples as there were no other observers.  In this passage we see how the Son of God, fully divine, also being fully human faces the battle of temptation.  The temptations are not of the sort that only relate to Jesus, for at the heart of all three recorded temptations is the attempt to disrupt the beautiful relationship between Jesus and God his Father.  So too, every temptation thrown at us by the forces of evil is an attempt to destroy relationships - relationships that we have with one another, and the relationship between us and God our creator.  We were created for relationships, therefore we must do everything we can not to allow temptation to ruin them.
