This text is addressed to all those who
accept the message of Jesus unlike those in Chorazin and Bethsaida. Jesus
begins his prayer here by giving thanks to the Father. It is openness to the
revelation of God that Jesus makes which is responsible for the receipt of this
enormous privilege. Acknowledging Jesus is not a matter of one’s superior
knowledge or insight, but given as a gift to those who open themselves to this
revelation. Jesus himself is an example of such openness, which allowed him to
receive everything directly from God. It is his intimacy with the Father and
not his religious genius, which is responsible for this grace.
