Jesus said that the Father sent him 21 times in the Gospel of John. These statements are found throughout the book, from the early chapters when Jesus is proclaiming his mission to the world to the later chapters when he is preparing his disciples for his death and resurrection.Here are some of the passages where Jesus says that the Father sent him:

John 3:34: "For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for he gives the Spirit without measure."
John 4:34: "My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work."
John 5:23: "I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me."
John 6:29: "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."
John 7:16: "My teaching is not my own, but his who sent me."
John 8:16: "I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me."
John 10:36: "The Father who sent me is greater than I."
John 12:44-45: "I have come into the world as light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness. If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge that person. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world."
John 14:24: "In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you."
John 15:21: "All this they will do to you because of my name, because they do not know him who sent me."
John 17:3: "This is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent."

These statements are significant because they reveal Jesus' understanding of his own identity and mission. Jesus understood himself to be sent by the Father on a mission to save the world. He also understood that his authority came from the Father, and that he was accountable to him. These statements are a reminder that Jesus is not just a great teacher or a wise man. He is the Son of God, and he came to earth to save us from our sins.

The significance of Jesus being sent by his Father is that it shows that Jesus is not just a human being. He is also the Son of God. This is important because it means that Jesus has the authority to forgive sins and to offer salvation.In the Old Testament, God sent prophets to speak to his people. But these prophets were only human beings. They could not offer forgiveness for sins or salvation.Jesus, on the other hand, is the Son of God. He has the authority to forgive sins and to offer salvation. This is because he is the one who died on the cross to pay for our sins. He is also the one who rose from the dead, which guarantees that we will also rise from the dead.Jesus' being sent by his Father is also significant because it shows that Jesus is in a relationship with the Father. This relationship is one of love and obedience. Jesus always did the will of the Father. He never did anything on his own.Jesus' relationship with the Father is a model for our own relationship with God. We are called to love and obey God just as Jesus loved and obeyed the Father.Jesus' being sent by his Father is a central message of the Christian faith. It is a message of hope and salvation. It is a message that we can be forgiven for our sins and that we can have eternal life.

Pannenberg: Wolfhart Pannenberg is a 20th century theologian who argued that the Incarnation is not about Jesus becoming God, but about God becoming human. He argued that Jesus is the "image of God" and that we are all called to reflect this image in our own lives.
