Luke 10:21-22
Jesus is having a “moment” with His heavenly Father in this passage. He is thanking God for the work that His disciples (not having any knowledge or power in what they have been doing) have been doing because of their faith in Him. This signifies God’s power being revealed through Him and by Him and for Him. God did not bring these things about by using the great philosophers or the Pharisees (who were noted as being the most religious or highest in society) in that they could claim their own knowledge and power as man, but these disciples, babes of Jesus (Luke 10:21) were chosen because of a pure heart for Christ, and to Him be the glory. Jesus proclaims that God has given Him all things and that only the Father knows the Son and only the Son knows the Father, and that anyone else who comes to know the Father only knows Him because Jesus chose to reveal Him to them (Luke 10:22).
This is the power of God in the Trinity at work; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
This is the unique plan of salvation working to bring God all praise and glory through His Son Jesus and the working of His Holy Spirit.
God went to great detail to ensure that man could not take any credit for the work that was only and could only be accomplished through the pure sacrifice for all sin in His Son Jesus. God uses the weak to make Him strong, as the Apostle Paul states in 2 Corinthians 12:10.
When we realize our weakness and that only through Jesus we are made strong, we are then able to submit our lives and our will to Him. This is putting our faith in Him; that He overcame sin and that through what He has done for us on the cross we are offered forgiveness of sin and life eternal through Him.
Dear Lord,
Thank You for using our weaknesses to proclaim Your glory, that we cannot take credit for what You have done through Your Son Jesus, but that through Him and accepting what He has done for us, we may bring glory to You by putting our faith in Him. In Jesus name I pray, amen.
