Matthew 11:27

Jesus Gives True Rest

25 ^aAt that time Jesus answered and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that ^bYou have hidden these things from the wise and prudent ^cand have revealed them to babes.

26 Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight.

27 ^aAll things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. ^bNor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.

28 Come to ^aMe, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take My yoke upon you ^aand learn from Me, for I am gentle and ^blowly in heart, ^cand you will find rest for your souls.

30 ^aFor My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Matthew 11:28 >>

Matthew 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father. The Lord speaks, in part, in anticipation. It was the divine purpose, in sending the Son, to deliver "all things", the gospel, salvation, judgment, the rule of heaven and earth, to him. Neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son. He only is in the secret of the Divine counsels. And [he] to whomever the Son will reveal [him]. Christ is the revelation of God to man. "He that hath seen me hath seen the Father" (John 14:9). Those who "know" Christ by humble obedience and docility learn to know the Father also.
