The Kingdom of God Hid From The Wise And Revealed Unto Babes

Summary

The sermon explores the spiritual truth that the Kingdom of God is hidden from the wise and prudent but revealed to babes, emphasizing the necessity of humility and spiritual helplessness to truly understand divine mysteries. It contrasts the worldly wise and prudent, who rely on natural intellect and self-interest, with spiritual babes who are teachable, dependent on God, and receptive to His revelation. The preacher highlights that divine truths such as godly fear, acquaintance with God's law, living faith, hope, love, and the power of gospel truth are hidden from the self-reliant but revealed to the humble and spiritually dependent. The sermon calls believers to embrace the mind of Christ, submitting to God's sovereignty and receiving His truths with childlike faith and reverence.
