Matthew 11:27

And things are delivered, &c.— "Every thing relating to the salvation of the world is committed by my Father to my care as Mediator." And no one knoweth, &c.—"Knoweth his nature and dignity, what he hath done, and what he is yet to do, for the salvation of the world." Neither knoweth any one the Father, but the Son, &c. "None but the Son and his genuine disciples know the perfections and counsels of the Father." It is evident from this verse, that there is something inexplicably mysterious in the nature of the person of Christ, which indeed appears in the most convincing manner from the account elsewhere given of his Supreme Divinity in Scripture. See Doddridge, and Hammond, who interprets the verse differently. Our Lord, here addressing himself to his disciples, shews why men, wise and understanding in other things, do not know this; namely, because none can know it by mere natural reason; none but those to whom he revealeth it; and the wise in the flesh reject it and despise it with the utmost scorn, and therefore in that spirit cannot possibly receive it.
