Matthew 11:27
27 “All things have been handed over to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him.

This is one of my favorite passages. I find verse 27 very compelling – “nobody knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.” This has been very important for me to remember over time, especially as I’ve prayed for grace to come to certain people. Christ is the bridge from God to Man. Revelation happens on an individual basis, and it happens according to God’s plan and schedule and in response to Man’s seeking. At times we are used by God to play a role in someone else’s spiritual development, but remember that we are just being used. God is doing the work, not us. If as individuals we push too hard, we may move out of God’s will and into our own, and the person might be turned off.
