“Almost every page of the Gospel of John speaks of mission as sending, with regard to Jesus and with regard to us as well. Jesus did not come on His own, but His Father sent Him (John 8:42). He did not speak His own words but the words of the Father who sent Him (3:34; 7:16; 12:49). He did not do His own works but the works of the Father who sent Him (5:36; 9:4). These works were His miracles. He did not come to do His own will but the will of His Father who sent Him (5:30; 6:38). Like Jesus, we must receive a supernatural message, a supernatural ministry and a supernatural motivation to enable us to fulfill our mission.”
