God sent

In this is love, not that we have loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed,
