SEV Biblia, Chapter 11:26
Sí, Padre, porque así agrad en tus ojos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 11:26
Verse 26. Even so, Father] nai o pathr. An emphatical ratification of the preceding address. It was right that the heavenly wisdom, despised, rejected, and persecuted by the scribes and Pharisees, should be offered to the simple people, and afterwards to the foolish people, the Gentiles, who are the children of wisdom, and justify God in his ways, by bringing forth that fruit of the Gospel of which the Pharisees refused to receive even the seed.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 26. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight .] Or, so is the good will, or pleasure before thee: thus, ynplm wxr yhy , let it be the good will before thee, or in thy sight, O Lord, is a phrase often to be met with in the Jews forms of prayer f699 . Here the word designs the sovereign counsel and purpose of God, to which, and to which only, our Lord refers the different dispensations of God towards the sons of men: this is a reason which ought to satisfy everyone, and is better than ten thousand others that can be thought of, or devised by men. This difference among men, with respect to the Gospel revelation, cannot be owing to natural sagacity, prudence, and penetration; for these things are with those from whom it is hid; nor to any worthiness in those to whom it is revealed; for they are the poor, the base, the foolish things of this world, and even things that are not; nor to any foresight of their making a better use and improvement of such a revelation, but to the good will and pleasure of God only.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 25-30 - It becomes children to be grateful. When we come to God as a Father, we must remember that he is Lord of heaven and earth, which obliges us to come to him with reverence as to the sovereign Lord of all; yet with confidence, as one able to defend us from evil, and to supply us with all good. Our blessed Lord added a remarkable declaration, that the Father had delivered into his hands all power, authority, and judgment We are indebted to Christ for all the revelation we have of God the Father's will and love, ever since Adam sinned. Our Saviour has invite all that labour and are heavy-laden, to come unto him. In some sense all men are so. Worldly men burden themselves with fruitless cares for wealth and honours; the gay and the sensual labour in pursuit of pleasures; the slave of Satan and his own lusts, is the merest drudg on earth. Those who labour to establish their own righteousness als labour in vain. The convinced sinner is heavy-laden with guilt an terror; and the tempted and afflicted believer has labours and burdens Christ invites all to come to him for rest to their souls. He alon gives this invitation; men come to him, when, feeling their guilt an misery, and believing his love and power to help, they seek him in fervent prayer. Thus it is the duty and interest of weary an heavy-laden sinners, to come to Jesus Christ. This is the gospel call Whoever will, let him come. All who thus come will receive rest a Christ's gift, and obtain peace and comfort in their hearts. But is coming to him they must take his yoke, and submit to his authority They must learn of him all things, as to their comfort and obedience He accepts the willing servant, however imperfect the services. Here we may find rest for our souls, and here only. Nor need we fear his yoke His commandments are holy, just, and good. It requires self-denial, an exposes to difficulties, but this is abundantly repaid, even in thi world, by inward peace and joy. It is a yoke that is lined with love So powerful are the assistances he gives us, so suitable the encouragements, and so strong the consolations to be found in the way of duty, that we may truly say, it is a yoke of pleasantness. The way of duty is the way of rest. The truths Christ teaches are such as we may venture our souls upon. Such is the Redeemer's mercy; and wh should the labouring and burdened sinner seek for rest from any othe quarter? Let us come to him daily, for deliverance from wrath an guilt, from sin and Satan, from all our cares, fears, and sorrows. But forced obedience, far from being easy and light, is a heavy burden. I vain do we draw near to Jesus with our lips, while the heart is fa from him. Then come to Jesus to find rest for your souls __________________________________________________________________
