Matthew 11:25
Jesus, of course, recognized the plan of the Father in all of this. This is one of those passages where we are tempted to think that God makes us do what he wants to the point that we have no choice of our own. However, taken in context, we know that these local towns chose their response to Christ. Thus, God is just. He allows people to make their own decisions. But, in his infinite wisdom, he knows who will respond. Therefore, he orchestrates the whole thing as he sees fit. The wise and prudent in their own conceits would claim too much glory for themselves.
