We are at Jesus' mercy to reveal heavenly mystery.

If we want to understand who God is and how he works, we don’t need to climb up to him. Jesus brings heaven’s best secrets down to earth. He reveals God to us using ordinary, everyday things. This week we see how God’s revelation to mankind flows through one person: Jesus. No one knows God except through him. Far from this meaning that knowledge of God will only be available to a select, elite few, Jesus makes it available to all. He does so by bringing it down to the lowest and simplest of levels so that even the smallest and the simplest can comprehend it. As a result, the manner in which Jesus reveals heavenly mysteries is itself a mystery: it is missed by the wise and learned and grasped by the meek and humble.
