Eavesdropping on the Trinity – Matthew 11:25-30

This prayer recorded in Matthew shines like an other-worldly jewel normally reserved for beholding in heavenly glory! The curtain of our finite world is pulled back to hear the worship of heaven. Themes celebrated by the Godhead are here proclaimed in doxological beauty. This summary of John 17 underscores Christ's priesthood bringing together themes of worship, kindness, and severity. Its literary context reminds the disciple that even in the decay of imploding culture, there remains a remnant sheltered on the island of redemption in a sea of fearful reckoning.
