Filled with joy at the Disciple’s return, Jesus
prayed in the Holy Spirit:
Praise You, Father,
LORD of heaven and earth!
From clever people, You have hidden
things You show to those who come to You
like little children.
Yes! How this pleases You!
All things
have been entrusted to Me
by My Father,
for no one but the Father
really knows Who I Am,
and no one really knows
Who You are, Father,
except Your Son
and everyone
to whom I have shown You
and to whom I will make You known.
Luke 10:21-22
