"I want to emphasize, as did Jesus, that saving knowledge of the Son and Father is dependent on their will. If the knowledge of Jesus is hidden from some but revealed to others, it is because our sovereign God and Father, Lord of heaven and earth, found it pleasing to himself so to either hide or reveal it. Those from whom the truth was hidden cannot object, for God owes them nothing but judgment. Those to whom the truth was made known cannot boast of their knowledge, for they no more deserved to receive this gift than those from whom it was withheld."
