The Kingdom of God Hidden and Revealed
Publisher Description
A sermon on Matthew 11:25 -
“At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee,
O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because Thou
hast hid these things from the wise and prudent,
and hast revealed them unto babes.”
Philpot demonstrates that there are only two kinds of people in the world: those who understand or 'see' God's kingdom and those who don't. By nature we are all enveloped in the dark blindness of sin, but God in His sovereign grace reaches down and gives light to those He will.
He goes on to disclose what kind of people they are whose eyes God opens and who they are He seals in their blindness.
Finally, he examines what it is that God hides and makes known. The following section headings grace this portion: Godly Fear, Acquaintance with the Law, Operations of Faith, Exercise of Hope, Spiritual Affection and Divine Love, and the Power of Truth.
