Being Sent Into The World
May 17, 2007 | Filed Under gospel, incarnational, missional |
In light of yesterday’s post on the sending passages found in the Gospels, here is a sampling of the sending theme specifically from the Gospel of John:
Sending and the Father
“For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him” (3:17).
“For he whom God has sent utters the words of God” (3:34).
“He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him” (5:23).
“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me, has eternal life” (5:24).
“I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me” (5:30).
“These very words which I am doing, bear witness that the Father has sent me. And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness to me (5:36-38).
“For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me” (6:38).
“No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him” (6:44).
“But I have not come of my own accord; he who sent me is true, and him you do not know. I know him, for I came from him, and he sent me” (7:28-29).
“I shall be with you a little longer, and then I go to him who sent me” (7:33).
“I bear witness to myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness to me” (8:18).
“He who sent me is true” (8:26).
“And he who sent me is with me” (8:29).
“I came not of my own accord, but he sent me” (8:42).
“We must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day” (9:4).
“He who believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me. And he who sees me sees him who sent me” (12:44-45).
“The Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment what to say and what to speak” (12:49).
“He who receives me receives him who sent me” (13:20).
“The word which you hear is not mine but the Father’s who sent me” (14:24).
John 17 prayer
“And they have believed that you have sent me” (17:3).
“As you have sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world” (17:18).
“They know that you have sent me” (17:25).
Sending and the Son
“As you have sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world” (17:18).
“As the Father has sent me, even so I send you” (20:21).
“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives any one whom I send receives me” (John 13:20).
Sending and the Spirit
“If I do not go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you” (John 16:7).
“The Counselor will teach you everything and will cause you to remember all that I told you. This Counselor is the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name” (John 14:26).
