Jesus Praises the Father’s Wisdom

This section records a moment when Jesus responds to the mixed reactions he receives from the people. Some towns have rejected his message, but others, especially humble people, receive it.

He explains that he alone truly knows the Father, and he invites all who are weary to come find rest in him.

v. 25: At that time, Jesus prayed and said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children.” Jesus recognizes that God’s wisdom is different from human wisdom. Important spiritual truths are not understood by people who think they are wise or proud, but by those who are humble and willing to learn. God’s plan is to show his truth to those who have a simple, childlike faith (1 Corinthians 1:27 ^a).
