What does Matthew 11:27 mean?
All things are delivered unto me of my Father
This is to be understood of Christ, as mediator; for, as God,
nothing was delivered to him; he had all things, all perfections,
power, and glory his Father has; and is to be considered in the
utmost extent: all persons are delivered to him, angels and men;
good angels are delivered to him, to be confirmed in him, as
their head, and to be made use of by him; spirits, evil spirits,
which were subject to his disciples, are under him, and at his
command and disposal; and their subjection to his disciples is
owing to his power over them, which he communicated to them; all
the elect of God are delivered to him, to be kept and saved by
him; all the babes and little ones, to whom it was the Father's
will to reveal the mysteries of grace, were his care and charge;
all power in heaven, and in earth, are given unto him; and all
the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hid with him, which are
distributed to any of the sons of men; all the blessings of
grace, and the promises of the everlasting covenant, and all the
glory and happiness of his people, are put into his hands:
and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father;
the transcendent glories and perfections of his nature, as the
Son of God; nor the whole of his work and office, as mediator: or
all that is committed to his charge, as such: all that he was to
do, and suffer, for his people; all that he had done for them,
and should communicate to, and bestow upon them.
Neither knoweth any man the Father, save the
Son;
his essence and glory, his mind and will, his purposes and
decrees, his counsels and covenant; the grace and love of his
heart to his chosen people; what he has prepared and laid up for
them, and will make them partakers of to all eternity;
and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him;
both himself, and his Father, and the grace and glory of each,
which he does by his Spirit; who is a Spirit of wisdom and
revelation in the knowledge of him; and which entirely depends on
his own sovereign will and pleasure.
