Luke 10:21-24
21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. 22 All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.” 23 Then He turned to His disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see; 24 for I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear, and have not heard it.”
The things revealed in a new birth are like a new set of eyes; our wisdom and learning always fall short, and as little children eager to hear we come through God's Son to see His face. God chose the foolishness of the cross to put our sin to death and give us life now and forever with His very presence within - so we see what rulers and religious leaders alike long to glimpse. This is grace in mercy, acquitted and given a gift undeserved with punishment taken for us - the good news.
