What Does Luke 10:22 Mean?

Still in the joy of thanksgiving, Jesus speaks openly of his standing: all things delivered into his hands, and a knowledge between Father and Son so complete that no one else shares it. It is among the most exalted self-disclosures in Luke, spoken not to crowds but among friends.

No one comes to know the Father except as the Son makes him known — and the wonder of the gospel is that the Son delights to make him known: to babes, to seventy dusty travellers, to any who come. The knowledge of God is not scaled to intellect; it is given by the Son to the willing. To see Jesus truly is to be shown the heart of the Father.
