What does the Bible say about Jesus being sent by God?

The Scriptures consistently affirm that Jesus was sent by the Father to perform a unique purpose. In John 5:36, Jesus asserts, 'But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.' This sending signifies His divine authority and role in unfolding God’s redemptive plan. Jesus' mission includes bringing light to a dark world, offering salvation, and ultimately fulfilling God’s will for humanity.
