Jesus Was Sent by God
The Tension
Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
Analysis
Jesus refers to God as "the only true God" and himself as sent by God.
Perspectives
THE CHRISTIAN RESPONSE
The term "sent" reflects his mission; as the Son, he is sent by the Father but is still divine.
THE ISLAMIC POSITION
Jesus distinguishes himself from "the only true God," implying he is not God.
