HE HAS REVEALED HIS PLAN!

Luke 10:21-24

Luk 10:21 On that same occasion Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of the sky and the land, because you have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, because this was your gracious will.
Luk 10:22 All things have been given to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son decides to reveal him.”
Luk 10:23 Then Jesus turned to his disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see!
Luk 10:24 Because I am telling you that many prophets and kings longed to see what you see but have not seen it, and to hear what you hear but have not heard it.”

revelation and relationship

Jesus had just redirected the joy of the seventy‑two away from their power and toward their identity—away from what they could do for God and toward what God had already done for them. Their names were written in heaven. Their relationship with God was the true miracle.

Now He goes deeper. How did that relationship begin? Not through their brilliance, not through their spiritual résumé, not through their heritage. It began because God chose to reveal Himself through Christ, and they received what He revealed. They saw and heard what prophets and kings longed to see and hear. Generations of faithful people searched the Scriptures, prayed for insight, and waited for the Messiah, but the full unveiling of God’s heart remained hidden from them.

Then Christ appeared—and everything changed.

In Him, the mystery became clear. In Him, the gospel took flesh. In Him, the Father’s love, wisdom, and salvation were revealed openly. The seventy‑two believed what they saw and heard, and that belief opened the door to a relationship that prophets could only anticipate from a distance.

This is the miracle behind every miracle:
Not that demons submit,
not that sickness flees,
not that ministry succeeds—
but that God has made Himself known to us in Jesus Christ,
and through that revelation, we belong to Him.

Our standing with God is not built on our insight, our effort, or our success. It is built on His self‑disclosure—His willingness to be known, to be heard, to be trusted. The gospel is not something we discovered; it is something God revealed.

So we pray:
LORD, thank You for the relationship we can now have with You, now that You have revealed Yourself in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
