Jesus knew that to unlock the spiritual truth found in the Bible, we need two things: Gods help and the right heart attitude. Jesus explains: I publicly praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intellectual ones and have revealed them to babes. Do you see why it is that grasping the spiritual truth in the Bible may be considered a matter of privileged? Jehovah, the Lord of heaven and earth, may hide or reveal the truth according to sovereign will. But God is not arbitrary in this matter of revelation. On what basis does he reveal Bible truth to some and not to others? Jehovah favors the humble, not the haughty, (James 4:6) He hides the truth from wise and intellectual ones-worldly wise and learned ones who in their pride and self-reliance feel no need for his help. (1 Corinthians 1:19-21) but he reveals the truth to babes-those who come to him with sincere hearts, showing childlike humility. (Matthew 18:1-4; 1 Corinthians 1:26-28)
