Intimate Knowledge of God

There is a unity between the Father and the Son which we cannot fully comprehend because of our limited nature. The closets of friends disagree with one another at times. The most loving, loyal committed husband and wife argue. If one person continually submits to another, it is despite strong opposing views. But the Father and Son think alike yet each remain unique.

They know how one another thinks. They know how one another responds. They know each other’s goals, plans, love, anger, and what moves the other’s heart to compassion. There is nothing they do not know about one another.

Yet Jesus chooses to reveal the Father to us, his children.

“No one knows the Son except the Father, nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal him” (Mathew 11:27).

Jesus reveals the Father to each of his children. This takes my breath away.
