One appears to be asking that is God sent Jesus, how could Jesus offered himself to God? Evidently, it is being thought that there is some disharmony with the two thoughts, and thus that Jesus certainly could not have offered himself to God since God sent him. The reasoning is not clear, but I offered the following:
God has sent his only born Son into the world that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.-- 1 John 4:9,10, World English
Ephesians 5:2 WEB
Walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice **to God** for a sweet-smelling fragrance.
Romans 5:8 WEB
But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Hebrews 9:14 WEB
how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish **to God**, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
John 3:16 WEB
For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
[Jesus] is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world. -- 1 John 2:2.
Nevertheless, according to the Scriptures, "God", the Lord Jehovah of Isaiah 61:1, did indeed send Jesus to be the sacrifice and Jesus did indeed sacrifice his flesh, to the Lord Jehovah, the God and Father of Jesus.
Jesus was not born of this world (John 8:23), the world that has been corrupted through Adam and Eve. (Romans 5:12-19; 2 Peter 1:4) Jesus was begotten of the holy spirit in the womb of Mary. (Matthew 1:20) His body was specially prepared by God. (Hebrews 10:5) Thus, he was not born under the condemnation of Adam, but he took upon himself the penalty of that condemnation, and suffered as though he were under that condemnation, in order to pay the price to release man from that condemnation. Only in this manner is God found to be just, and yet the justifier of sinners. (Romans 3:26) Thus, Jesus' sacrifice for us included his body of flesh. -- Hebrews 10:10.
Jesus died because of God's love for mankind. The man Jesus Christ, likewise, willingly offered himself as the offsetting price to God, because of his own love for mankind. -- Romans 5:8,12-19; 1 Corinthians 15:21,22; Ephesians 5:2; 1 Timothy 2:5,6.
