At that time Jesus exclaimed: “I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to little ones. Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him.”
“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.” Matthew 11:25-30
In this passage Jesus offers praise to God, acknowledging God’s sovereignty and gracious will. God is the all-powerful Lord of all that exists in heaven and earth. Jesus invites us to also humble ourselves even though we may be burdened by weariness, weakness or sin and join Him in prayer to God. Jesus invites us to come to know and Love the Father with the same love Jesus has for Him. This invitation reveals Jesus’ deepest desire for us: to share in the union between Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, not only on our earthly journey but also eternally in heaven.
Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven
