The Father Gives Revelation and Rest to Sons
by Ps Christopher K.

Matt 11:25-30
The Father gives revelation to His sons; however not all those who have revelation are His sons.

John 11:51 (NKJV) 51 Now this he did not say on his own authority; but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

  • Caiaphas prophesied because he received revelation from God as High Priest and he was just a religious leader.
  • Sons have continuous revelation because they have a on going and growing relationship with the Father.
  • Revelation also must be in line with the principles found in the scriptures. Truth that liberates people to live a life free from sin.

John 9:35-41

  • Spiritual blindness is caused by pride.
  • Religious leaders lived in unbelief due to pride.
Matt 11:16-19

  • Jesus had revelation because of intimate relationship with the Father.
  • Jesus was able to do the work of the Father because of intimacy with the Father. He heard and saw what the Father did and was also able to say and do what he heard and saw.
  • V28: Rest is not inactivity. It means work as it involves a yoke. However, Jesus is the lead ox. We follow His lead.
Guidelines for Fathers

  • Clearly communicate instructions through words and examples.
  • Through words and actions take the lead and teach our children.
  • The Father through Jesus is gentle and lowly and so must we.

Lets learn and communicate clearly.
