Scripture to Read: Matthew 11:27
Jesus also said in Matthew 11:27, “…no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.” God the Father and God the Son have perfect unity, along with God the Spirit. They’ve always been in perfect union but as Christ made this statement, He revealed that no one knows Him as well as the Father and no one knows the Father as well as He does. Another beautiful truth is that Jesus chose to come to earth to reveal the Father to us so we could know Him. The unity that Jesus has with the Father, Jesus asked the Father to unify us with Them. Jesus prayed in John 17:20–23, “I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; 21 that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22 The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; 23 I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me.” Jesus asked the Father for everyone who will ever believe in Him, that we all be one just as the Father and Him are one.
