25 At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. 26 Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do. 27 “All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. 28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:25-30)
Here the Lord Jesus thanks Heavenly Father for hiding these things from the wise and learned and revealing them to babes. These things refer to the spiritual things which the Lord Jesus revealed to the babes.
23 Then he turned to his disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. 24 For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.” (Luke 10:23-24)
The parallel passage in the Gospel of Luke tells us that the Lord Jesus allowed his disciples to see and hear things that many prophets and kings in the old testament could not see or hear.
Anyone who has my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and show myself to him. (John 14:21)
Here the Lord Jesus says that He will reveal to those who keep His commandments, those who love Him.
Then the Lord Jesus invites those who are weary and burdened to come to Him and find rest. In ancient times, a yoke was placed on the necks of two animals to work together in the field. To take the Lord’s yoke is to be union with Him and work together with Him. The Lord’s yoke is easy and the Lord’s burden is light, we learn from the Lord, for he is gentle and humble in heart, we can wait before the Lord and find rest in Him. The first thing we should do every morning when we get up is to be quiet before the Lord, read the Bible and pray, get strength and guidance from the Lord to do daily work . After a day’s work, we should also wait before Him, rest in Him.
May God bless you and your family! 🙏😊
