Wesley's Notes for Matthew 11:27


11:27 All things are delivered to me - Our Lord, here addressing himself to his disciples, shows why men, wise in other things, do not know this: namely, because none can know it by natural reason: none but those to whom he revealeth it.


People's Bible Notes for Matthew 11:27


Mt 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father. The Lord speaks, in part, in anticipation. It was the divine purpose, in sending the Son, to deliver "all things", the gospel, salvation, judgment, the rule of heaven and earth, to him. Neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son. He only is in the secret of the Divine counsels. And [he] to whomever the Son will reveal [him]. Christ is the revelation of God to man. "He that hath seen me hath seen the Father" (Joh 14:9). Those who "know" Christ by humble obedience and docility learn to know the Father also.
