Revelation - Seeing What No Man Can See (Santosh Poonen)

Who will see God?: the pure in heart (Matthew 5:8); those who have pursued sanctification (Hebrews 12:14); those who love one another (I John 4:12); etc. Revelation is to the eternal, what sight is to the natural. We see throughout God’s dealings with His people that His purpose has always been to give Man eternal rest (Exodus 33:14; Hebrews 4:9). The “wise and intelligent” find rest in earthly things and therefore never come to the place of being spiritually weary and heavy-laden. The “babes” are those who have grown weary of the earthly and come to Jesus for rest (Matthew 11:25,28). Most of the world is too “wise and the intelligent” to see that the easiest and most exciting life is the way of being yoked to Jesus in gentleness and humility (Matthew 11:25-30). “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to Me! Get away with Me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to have real rest. Walk with Me and work with Me – watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with Me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” (Matthew 11:28-30 MSG)
