Christ had the perfect consciousness of His solitariness in connection with divine glory. In substance He says, "No one knows Me but the Father." "I know who I am." A certain solitude belongs to Him, and most blessed that it is so. There is only one Messiah, only one Son, and He knew it. He never forgets who He is, or ever acts short of what He is, as the only begotten of the Father. Again He says, "Neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him." Who could reveal the Father save the Son? Part of the glory of Christ is seen in the use He would make of this power, and the blessedness of His knowledge which gives Him the exclusive power and right to reveal the Father. He would teach whom He would, to know Him; that is His prerogative.
"All things are delivered unto Me of My Father." What was Christ's thought in connection with this universal power? I have got the secret of the Father, I have power to reveal Him, I will look out for some to whom the Father can be revealed. That is the thought of Christ's heart, and does not this tell out a whole volume of His character? What a contrast to ourselves; if we had all things in our power, what should we do with them all? Should we not want some fragment for self? With Christ, it is only, "My Father"; all is in connection with Him.
