Luke 8:17 “”For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light.”
This had an immediate meaning as well as a long term meaning. The gospel age has brought forth answers to many of the questions that were still unanswered in the ancient times of the Old Testament. And so Jesus spoke of that revelation of the truth that was coming shortly to the Jewish people. Much of what God’s people knew and understood about Him was enhanced and added to during this time.
But also, Jesus is speaking of things yet future even today. There are many things we still do not understand. Not everything has been revealed, though much of it has.
Beyond this, though, Jesus also was speaking of the truth in an individual’s heart. He ministered to people who would grow in their understanding of the truth. When we are seeking to know the eternal God, there will be growth in our understanding. God has always revealed Himself by a little and a little. He doesn’t just flash in upon us all at once, but He comes softly and slowly permeates our minds with His powerful and delightful truth.
Heavenly Father, there is nothing so wonderful as being able to speak to You. To ask You and to hear Your answers is the most amazing blessing anyone could hope for. Thank You for being a willing party to revealing Your plan and ways to us. Though there is so much we do not understand, Your desire for a relationship with us is such a delight and pleasure! I love You! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
