Matthew 11:27
“All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.”
What does Matthew 11:27 mean?
Jesus is claiming something remarkable here: he has been given complete authority by God, and he alone truly knows who God is. This isn't Jesus being distant or exclusive, though. He's actually saying that anyone can come to know God deeply, but only through relationship with him. It's like saying a child truly knows their parent in a way no outsider can, and only that parent can really introduce you to who they are. The promise tucked into this statement is that Jesus actively wants to reveal God to people, making genuine knowledge of God available to whoever turns toward him.
