Then Jesus prayed this prayer: "O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank you for hiding the truth from those who think themselves so wise and clever, and for revealing it to the childlike. Yes, Father, it pleased you to do it this way! My Father has given me authority over everything, No one one really knows the Son excepts the Father, and no one really knows the Father excepts the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him." Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke fits perfectly, and the burden I will give you is light."
-Jesus mentions two kinds of people in his prayer: the "wise"--arrogant in their knowledge--and the "little children"--humbly open to receive the truth of God's word. Are you wise in your own eyes. or do you seek the truth in childlike faith, realizing that only God holds all the answers?
