25 At that time Jesus said in reply,[a] “I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to the childlike. 26 Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will. 27 All things have been handed over to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him.-Matthew11:25-27

What are the ways of the wise and the learned? Some have become intellectually arrogant and stubborn. Others have closed their mind to new learning. Still others have become proud of the little or much learning they have. Jesus was a breath of fresh air during His time when He did the ministry. Like a sower scattering the seeds, He showered upon all - without partiality - what the kingdom of God is all about. However, just like the seeds that fell on different grounds, our response vary per person. What is our response to His invitation to change? What is our response to new learning?
