Luke Chapter 10:
21 In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.
He rejoiced in the Holy Spirit Who is the One Who reveals Who Jesus is to us. Jesus was seeing His dream come true. He had created us to love His Father and now as His time to fulfill the plan was approaching He was rejoicing as He saw those who would follow Him.
22 All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”
The Son has an intimate relationship with The Father, they know each other better than anyone else. Have you ever wanted others to know just how amazing the person you love is? This was how Jesus was feeling I think, He wanted others to know all about His Father, He was doing all He could to tell them and to show them what His Father was like. At this point He could see come results of His project.
I do not begin to understand the Trinity but it is clear here that The Father has given the Son permission to fulfill His plan. This scripture can be used to say that God Himself decides who gets saved and who does not. I am not sure how all that works but I do know that if we do not have a free choice then the gift of us from Jesus to the Father has little value. It requires a choice, when men make the wrong choice the Father gets angry, when we do not live in a way that honors the Son it makes the Father angry.
What is the sin we have to repent from in order to be saved? Is it not the sin of choosing our will over the Fathers will? Regardless of the action it is selfishness, we are our own god. When men do this an anger rises in the Father, all 3 members of the Trinity understand that man cannot endure the anger of The Father. The Father does not even want to look on anyone who puts themselves first. We all do that until we realize we are wrong and we need to put God and His will for us first. Jesus understood that even doing that would not stop His Father’s anger so He offered to allow The Father to take His anger out on Jesus, that is our salvation. Jesus took the Fathers anger in our place. Amazing
