Hey, church family. If you got your Bibles, we're back in Matthew chapter 11.

After Jesus has this conversation with the disciples of John the Baptist, then he gives

this woe or warning to these unrepentant cities.

And then when you get to verse 25,

he has a message.

Sometimes when Jesus would teach,

you know, he would teach these broad categories, right?

To lots of people.

But when I get to Matthew 1125,

his words, they seem to be so personal and just cut to the heart.

So Matthew 1125, at that time, Jesus declared, I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and

revealed them to little children. What things? Matters of faith. What he's talking about,

he's saying, woe to these cities, because I performed miracles there, I preached the gospel there,

I demonstrated the gospel there, and yet you did not receive me, but you rejected me.

You wise Pharisees, you wise scribes, you wise elders, rejected me because I did not fit into your

religious box, and yet little children understood that Jesus was the son of God, the anointed one.

Verse 26, yes, Father, for such was your gracious will of 27, all things have been handed over to me by my father.

And pay attention to this.

And no one knows the son except the father, and no one knows the father except

the son and anyone to whom the son chooses to reveal him.

How are you a Christian? Do you think you're just smarter than everybody else in the world?

Do you think the rest of the world, your family and Jacksonville can't figure it out,
