Matthew 11:25-30

At that time Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” (ESV)

by John J. Pethtel

The truths of the Gospel are revealed to those who know Jesus and his Father. It is one of the reasons that Jesus spoke in parables. This was to reveal truth to those that know him and hide it from those who don’t. Not everything in the Scripture is unlocked at once but if you do not understand, read it again and ask for revelation through prayer. God still speaks to his people in this day.
