Matthew 11:27
“All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.”
You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free. But how do you know the truth to attain unto that deeply desired freedom? The truth is that Truth cannot be discovered by self-revelation or self-effort. To understand the Truth, God must reveal it to you. God is the Truth, the only Source, and Fountain of all Truth. Outside of God, all declared truths are all lies. That’s why even when Jesus was with Pilate and said He came to show the Truth, Pilate asked, “What is Truth?” Although He stood before the physical embodiment of all eternal Truth, He could not recognize Truth.
Truth must be revealed. Jesus’ primary reason for coming to us was to reveal the Father to us. We cannot understand or experience Truth unless Jesus reveals Him to us. We cannot judge correctly nor see correctly either understand correctly, except Jesus does a work of grace in our hearts. Our greatest need, therefore, is for Jesus. Note that this revelation of the Father happens to whom Jesus “wills” to reveal Him to. This means we cannot force the revelation. It means that Jesus will reveal His Father to whom He chooses. Do we want a deeper insight into God, a deeper experience of God and a deeper overflow of God? Then let’s draw nearer to Jesus, for as He said, “none can come to the Father, except through Me.” (John 14:6)
“Jesus, I need You so much because I am impotent and incapacitated without You. I cannot know God or experience God, without You. I draw nigh to You this morning and ask that You reveal God the Father to me in a new way. In Your name, I pray. Amen.”
