"THE FATHER'S HIDDEN THINGS"


Matthew 11

²⁵ At that time Jesus began to say, I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth [and I acknowledge openly and joyfully to Your honor], that You have hidden these things from the wise and clever and learned, and revealed them to babies [to the ^[i]childish, untaught, and unskilled].

²⁶ Yes, Father, [I praise You that] such was Your gracious will and good pleasure.

²⁷ All things have been entrusted and delivered to Me by My Father; and no one ^[fully knows and ^[accurately understands the Son except the Father, and no one ^[fully knows and ^]accurately understands the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son ^[deliberately wills to make Him known.

²⁸ Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.]

²⁹ Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest ^]relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls.

³⁰ For My yoke is wholesome (useful, ^[t]good—not harsh, hard, sharp, or pressing, but comfortable, gracious, and pleasant), and My burden is light and easy to be borne.

 

DEAR PRECIOUS BELIEVER; ANSWER THE CALL, AND JUST "COME TO HIM." "I WILL EASE AND RELIEVE AND REFRESH YOUR SOULS."   JESUS
