25 At that time, Jesus answered, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to infants. 26 Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight. 27 All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.” |

Matthew 11:20-24 - World English Bible |

After condemning in the Jewish hamlets that rejected him, Jesus addressed the Father for the gift of revelation and the intimacy they shared. He felt gratitude for the revelation he offered his followers; those who claimed wisdom didn't understand, but the innocent did, and this pleased the Father. At the core of this revelation was the relationship the Son shared with the Father. That intimacy he gave to others; he drew them into the love between the divine persons of the Trinity. When they experienced that union, then they truly knew who Jesus really was. Sit for a moment and reflect on your knowledge of Jesus, not the book smarts you learned, but the intimacy he shares with the Father. |
