No man knows the things of God

[Stewardofthemystery]

It is written… “the things of God “knoweth no man”, but the Spirit of God.”

Jesus also said…

Matthew 11:27

All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and “no man knoweth”the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth “any man” the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.”

 

So why would anyone seek understanding into the spiritual things of God from any man?

 

Seek wisdom and understanding into the words of God from God, and from Christ by FAITH.

 

Jeremiah 2:13

For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.

 

 

[Stewardofthemystery]

You cannot receive the things of the Spirit of God unless it be “given” to you from heaven.

John 3:27

John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be “given”him from heaven”

 

James 1:5

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that “giveth” to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be “given”him.

 

But you must ask in FAITH…

 

James 1:6

But let him “ask in faith,” nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

John 19:

10 Then Pilate said to Him, “Are You not speaking to me?

Do You not know that I have power to crucify You,

and power to release You?”

11 Jesus answered, “You could have no power at all against Me unless

it had been given you from above. Therefore the one who delivered Me

to you has the greater sin.”

This is interesting in that it brings to thought something I had never considered before:  Jesus spoke in terms of greater and lesser sins.

Does that also imply greater and lesser punishments -consequences- for different degrees of sinfulness?

Not just sinfulness, faithfulness.

Luke 12:

47 And that servant who knew his master’s will, and did not prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. 

48 But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.

The Son of God is the Word of God, and it is the Word of God who “reveals”to us the Father.

John 1:18

No man hath seen God at any time, “the only begotten Son,”which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath “declared him.”

 

Hebrews 1:3

Who being the brightness of his glory, and “the express image of his person,” and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:

 

Colossians 1:15

Who is “the image”of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

 

We know what God is like by His Word, which is His only begotten Son…

 

John 14:7

If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

John 14:9

Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?

Beloved ones, we heard our Lord  Jesus said: 

 

“All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭27‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

What all things are delivered unto Jesus of His Father ?

 

Previously we heard:

 

“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 HAS REVEALED THEM

unto babes.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭25‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

“Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭26‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

That we understand, all things are delivered unto Jesus of His Father, are REVELATIONS: that no man knoweth the Son, but the Father.

 

How may we understand these revelations: that no man knoweth the Son, but the Father?

 

If no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; we may understand these revelations through the Father that we may know the Son. 

 

So there is not one revelation but many revelations that we may know the Son through the Father. 

 

One of such revelations, that we heard:

 

“Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:”

‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭9‬:‭23‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

“but let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and KNOWETH me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.”

‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭9‬:‭24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

We heard, neither knoweth any man THE FATHER, SAVE THE SON, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him.  

 

That we understand, if we know the Father save the Son, that we to whomsoever the Son will reveal the Father.  

 

For this we heard:

 

“Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Let us walk in newness of life, that we walk in newness of His words, for His words renews us, that be we renewed of the Holy Spirit. 

 

Paraphrasing Matthew 11:27

 

That we heard, all things ( revelations) are delivered unto Jesus of His Father: that no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; that we understand, these revelations through the Father that we may know the Son. 

We heard, neither knoweth any man THE FATHER, SAVE THE SON, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him.  That we understand, if we know the Father save the Son, that we to whomsoever the Son will reveal the Father.  

 

Selah

 

To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ. Amen

The things of God no man knows, but only the Spirit of God….

This is how they are “revealed”….

1 Corinthians 2:10

But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

I agree StewardoftheMystery, great verses and let me affirm the ones you posted with a few more which include a few of the same ones you just posted in with these

2Cr 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

Philip knowing Christ after the flesh (outward/visible image) verses Spirit (inward/invisible image)

Jesus  said,

John 14:7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

Who is the image of the invisible God Col 1:15

And so......Yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

Whereas

John 14:8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

Heb 1:3  Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person

John 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? 
he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

John 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? 

Who is the express image of His person Heb 1:3 the image of the inivisible (not visible) God

Knowing him in the flesh (or rather after the flesh) and not after the Spirit is not really knowing him 

Jesus changes things up and appears to the in another forum

Mark 16:12 After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.

And here where Jesus draws near to them asking them whats up why so sad?

Luke 24:16 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.

And they respond as to a stranger

Luke 24:18 Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?

And it come to pass in the breaking of bread they knew him

Luke 24:31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

That had to be the eyes of their understanding or their hearts that were opened as he simultaneously vanished out of their sight

Just fits in more perfectly with this verse which I just over used 

2Cr 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

To know him is after his invisible/inward image not after his visible/outward/image in the flesh 

They beheld the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, who is the brightness of His glory. 

John 17:22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

Which is by the Spirit of the Lord 

2Cr 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

They confirm nicely I think.
