Jesus prays to his Father.As You sent Me into the world This phrase highlights the divine mission of Jesus Christ, sent by God the Father. It reflects the concept of the Incarnation, where Jesus, though divine, entered the human realm to fulfill God's redemptive plan. This mission is rooted in Old Testament prophecies, such as Isaiah 61:1, which speaks of the anointed one sent to bring good news. The sending of Jesus is a central theme in the Gospel of John, emphasizing His role as the Light of the World (John 8:12) and the Savior (John 3:16-17). The world, in this context, refers to humanity in its fallen state, in need of salvation. I have also sent them into the world Persons / Places / Events 1. Jesus ChristThe speaker of this verse, Jesus is praying to God the Father. This prayer is part of what is known as the High Priestly Prayer, where Jesus intercedes for His disciples and all future believers. 2. God the Father The one to whom Jesus is praying. He is the sender of Jesus into the world, highlighting the divine mission and authority of Jesus. 3. The Disciples The immediate recipients of Jesus' mission.

Teaching Points Understanding Our MissionJust as Jesus was sent by the Father, we are sent by Jesus. Our mission is to continue His work, sharing the Gospel and making disciples. Empowered by the Holy Spirit We are not sent alone; the Holy Spirit empowers us to fulfill our mission, providing guidance, strength, and boldness. Living in the World, Not of the World While we are sent into the world, we must maintain our distinctiveness as followers of Christ, not conforming to worldly values but transforming them through the Gospel. Unity in Mission Jesus' prayer emphasizes unity among believers. Our effectiveness in mission is enhanced when we work together in love and harmony. Responding to the Call Like Isaiah, we should be willing to respond to God's call with readiness and obedience, trusting in His provision and guidance.(18) As thou hast sent me into the world.--Better, As Thou didst send Me. The tense points out the definite moment of His mission. (Comp. John 10:36.) So have I also sent them into the world.--Better, I also sent. Comp. Notes on Matthew 10:5; Luke 6:13. In the very word "Apostles" their mission was contained; but the thought here comprehends the immediate future of their wider mission. (Comp. Note on John 20:21.) Verse 18. - As thou didst send me into the world from the glory which I had with thee before the world was - a primal fact in the earthly consciousness of the Lord Christ, and one on which he repeatedly laid emphasis (John 10:36; John 17:8) - even so I sent them into the world; i.e. from that higher sphere of thought above the world to which I had called them. "They are not of the world," but I sent them from the unworldly home and from the high place of my intimate friendship, from the ground of elevated sympathy with myself, into the world, with my message and the power to claim obedience. Christ gave this apostolic commission near the commencement of his ministry (see Matthew 10:5, etc., and Mark 3:14, Ἵνα ω΅σι μετ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἵνα ἀποστέλλῃ αὐτοὺς κηρύσσειν), and that first act, the type of the whole apostolic commission, which was finally confirmed (Matthew 28:19, 20; John 20:21, 22), is here described in the timeless force of the aorist, so that the word embraces the entire ministerial function of all who believe in the mission of the Son.Parallel Commentaries ...
