Matthew 11:25
25Jesus Praises the Father and Invites the Disciples to Come to Him Luke 10:21-22At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from wise and intelligent people and have revealed them to infants.Ps 8:2; Matt 16:17; Luke 10:21; 1Cor 1:19, 27; 2:8; 2Cor 3:14Matthew 18:3

14Then we will no longer be little children, tossed like waves and blown about by every wind of doctrine, by people's trickery, or by clever strategies that would lead us astray.Isa 28:9; Matt 11:7; Rom 16:18; 1Cor 14:20; 2Cor 2:17; Heb 13:9Hebrews 5:12-13
