Here, Jesus means those that think they are 'wise and intelligent', the skeptics that seek proof of God's existence, and that Jesus is the Son of God. By infants, he means those that are humble and willing to 'let go' and let God control their lives and deeds. By: Richard Warren - May 10, 2008 - Public

 | Why does the Father hide things from the wise and intelligent and reveal them to infants? |
Because the wise and the intelligent aren't excluded from the faith and the Glory of God requires that faith never seems a wise privilege because human knowledge doesn't give the essential but rather hides it. At Jesus' time, there were only few wise and intelligent people among His disciples so God revealed the hide things to humble people.By: Gladys Alván - April 22, 2008 - Public

 | Why does the Father hide things from the wise and intelligent and reveal them to infants? |
The Father is the Father of every human being; it's our choice of attitude that can change that. Naturally there's nothing wrong with being intelligent, actually we need our minds to guide us and truly absorb His "things". We cannot just pretend to be literally infants, and take things just like it is given to us. The "things" of our Father must eventually make us grow, and as long as we grow wise in Him, that is the way to remain like an infant in His mighty Fatherly hands.

 | Why do we labor for the wrong things and reasons to the point of total exhaustion, when all we need to do is take an easy yoke and burden from Jesus,and find rest and refreshment from Jesus? |

Spiritual infants are those who have accepted Christ as their saviour. In doing this act of obedience, you come to be made new. A new heart will understand things better with the Holy Spirit guiding them. They will grasp the idea of loving your God with all your heart, mind, body, and soul. An infant learns from seeing and hearing the parents everyday. The wise and intelligent think they already know everything and are not open to learning new things. When God sees a new believer I think His heart leaps with the joy that He will be able to teach another infant.By: Tanya Micallef - April 22, 2008 - Public

I thik that the Lord was referring to people who are wise and intelligent in their own eyes, and spiritual infants, which can mean any one who is humble enough to admit their spiritual, mental, and physical smallness, and recognize their need to surrender to Him.By: Keith Downie - April 22, 2008 - Public

Infants know nuthing. They have to learn everything bye other people. When the infants grow and learn then they can teach others what they have learned. The wise and intelligent think they already know everything and cant learn nuthing. By: Jenn - April 22, 2008 - Public

 | Why the Father hide things from the wisw and intelligents and reveal them to infants |
Here Jesus can invite each of us to the humility as infants who are able to trust Adults . The kid can put easily his hands in the hands of his Mom or father and can consider his father as somebody who knows everything , who is most powefull , most intelligent , and by this way we have to consider our God . Only an empty vase can be filled up with water or wine . God will come to us and stay with or in us only if we can welcome the message of our salvation ; God is not a dictator ; He needs us free in everything , free to take any decision of our life ...If as infants , we ask something from God , this will be given to us because asking is a prouf of humility and this means that we need something or we need help . Asking something to God his a prouf that we recognize the power of God and we are dependant to Him and we are from Himself and we are a part of his creation . This is the beginning of the wisdom when we give to God his place as Kids give recongnition to their parents . We must walk with God and He will show us the way and He will lead us everywhere and every way for our Salvation . Our destiny or future is to be one day with God who get the secret of this plale where we suppose to be .You see , and by ourselves how we can or we will find this place ? ; so we need his assistance ,without pride it`s easy to follow God who knows everything in us and around us . We have to give to God the place He needs , so He will be really God . Infants are easy going , very flexible , dependant which doestn`t mean irresponsability , sober , open in everything .open in mind . You see , this is what we have to be in Jesus by the Holly Spirit . Do you remember what Jesus said in his speech with Nicodem :``we must born again and become as kids to follow Him ``God be with you and may He bless you .By: Faustin Kidibu - April 22, 2008 - Public

Because those who are wise and intelligent in their own eyes think they know every thing. And the infants are the ones who know nothing but are willing to listen and obey the word of God. So if you humble yourself as a little child and be willing to listen and obey. Then you can become a child of God and learn to trust your heavenly father and our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus said "Come to me all you who labor and are heavily burbened and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Jesus is Lord! Amen!By: Al Benavides - April 22, 2008 - Public
