At that time Jesus said in reply, "I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to the childlike. Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him. (Mt 11: 25-27)
Wise and the learned do search for truth. They search after hidden truths. Most of the times they do not arrive at the truth. They reach somewhere and think that they have arrived.
Truth about God and godly things are revealed. They are not arrived at by knowledge and search rather they are totally given in revelation. God has desired it that way. And that is his will.
God has revealed these things to them to the childlike people. Revelation is not given to the wise and the learned but to the childlike. This is the way that God works.
The best of revelation that God has given is the revelation about his own son Jesus (anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him). God communicates with the people only through revelation. This revelation is to the childlike. And the best revelation his oonly begotten son Jesus.
