What does the Bible say about Christ being sent into the world?

In John 17:18, Jesus states, 'As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.' This emphasizes the divine mission of Christ, who was commissioned by the Father to serve as the Redeemer. Isaiah 61:1 reflects this mission, saying, 'The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek.' Thus, the sending of Christ was orchestrated by God's plan for redemption, highlighting the sovereignty of God in the salvation of His people.
