25–27. THE REVELATION TO ‘BABES’
St Luk 10:21-22, where the words are spoken on the return of the Seventy.
The close connection between this section and that which follows has been pointed out by Dean Perowne (Expositor, Vol. VIII.). In this section two divine moral laws are set forth: (1) The revelation is made to humility. (2) The revelation is made through Christ alone. The invitation which follows (Mat 11:28-30) is given (1) not to the self-assertion of man, but to his need and the confession of that need, by One who is ‘meek and lowly in heart;’ (2) with a promise of rest to those, and those only, who take upon them Christ’s yoke and learn of Him.
