20. Since the Son of God means the Lord in relation to the humanity that He took on in the world, which is His Divine humanity, it is apparent what is meant by the Lord’s saying so many times that He was sent by the Father into the world and that He came from the Father.

His being sent by the Father into the world means that He was conceived of Jehovah as the Father.

That to be sent by the Father has no other meaning is clear from all the passages where we are told in addition that the Lord was doing the will of the Father and His works — the works being conquering the hells, glorifying His humanity, teaching the Word, and establishing a new church. He could not have accomplished these except by means of a humanity conceived of Jehovah and born of a virgin. That is, unless God became man.

Pick out the passages containing the words “send” and “sent” and you will see — passages such as Matthew 10:40, 15:24; Mark 9:37; Luke 4:43, 9:48, 10:16; John 3:17, 34, 4:34, 5:23-24, 36-38, 6:29, 39-40, 44, 57, 7:16, 18, 28-29, 8:16, 18, 29, 42, 9:4, 11:41-42, 12:44-45, 49, 13:20, 14:24, 15:21, 16:5, 17:3, 8, 21, 23, 25, 20:21.

Pick out also the passages in which the Lord calls Jehovah “Father.”
