Matthew 11:25 Revealed Unto Babes

Matthew 11:25 (KJV)  At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

The worldly wisdom and the wisdom of this world reject Christ. Just as Naaman first rejected the prophet’s instruction to wash in the Jordan River to cure his leprous condition. He reckoned that the rivers of Syria were mightier than the Jordan. When he came to himself, as it were with child-like faith, he was healed washing in the Jordan.

To the “wise and prudent”, the sages of this world, Jesus knew the wisdom of God is shut from them. With too much of themselves, Jesus’ words were to no avail for their souls. Till they would humble themselves, they cannot see the kingdom of heaven.

Thank God that there is salvation for all who will come to Jesus, and cast themselves wholly before him, find themselves wholly saved. Amen.
