Episode notes
God's Eternal Plan Without A Plan B
- God had an eternal plan A with no plan B, sending Jesus from eternity rather than commissioning him in time.
- Alistair Begg emphasizes the incarnation and eternal sending as the foundational reason redemption unfolds and scripture points to Christ.
Sending Jesus Shows God's Saving Love
- The Father sent the Son out of love to rescue a rebellious world so believers may not perish but have eternal life.
- Begg links the sending to the cross as the ultimate display of God's love and the means for forgiveness and everlasting life.
The Disciples' Mission Mirrors Jesus' Mission
- Jesus commissions his disciples with the same mission he had, speaking their sending as already accomplished.
- Begg notes John 17's proleptic language: Jesus says I have sent them to stress the certainty of their commissioning.
