Luke 10:21-24 Contemporary English Version (CEV)
It is the gracious will of God to reveal his goodness and love to those who are humble enough to receive it. Pride is a spiritual sickness that God rejects; Jesus is the Cure. Prideful people think they see and know all things, so God confuses them in order to lovingly “dethrone” or humble them. “Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall” (Proverbs 16:18).
Education is valuable and we are blessed when we can enjoy higher learning. However, we must never let what we know with our natural minds make us think we know supernatural things apart from the revelation of Christ. It is the work of Christ to make the Father known to us. And, with Christ, only the humble are welcomed into Kingdom Living. Take a humble position, today, and ask Jesus to teach you about the Father.
