Matthew 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth… I. Divine things CONCEALED. Not through any deficiency of revelation, nor by arbitrary will. II. Divine things REVEALED. The revelation of Divine realities is made to prepared souls. Elicits thankfulness. III. THE UNWILLING ALONE SUFFER PRIVATION AND LOSS. God will not force His truth and mercy upon man. (M. Braithwaite.)
