Jesus replied, " You are blessed, Simon son of John, because my Father in heaven has revealed this to you. You did not learn this from any human being.
MATTHEW 16:17 NLT
MATTHEW 16:17 NLT
This is the turning point of the Synoptic Gospels. From this moment on, Jesus begins to fulfill the prophecies of His death.
Peter had not come to this decision by study or by instruction, not by nature or by education, neither by with nor by human wisdom. Flesh and blood had not revealed it to him. God the Father in heaven revealed it to him by His Spirit. It was revelation knowledge, and Peter, therefore, was blessed because of it.
The Apostle Paul also confessed that he conferred not with flesh and blood (Gal.1:16), but received revelation knowledge of the gospel directly from God
There are things we learn from heaven that we can never learn here on earth. There are truths from heaven that are not taught in school. If we were to learn them, we must receive them straight from God.
When we speak by divine revelation, we are all blessed. Any time we can tell what God is thinking, what God is doing, what God is going to do, we are blessed by bringing forth revelation knowledge from God to the people.
No one truly knows Christ except by divine revelation. We do not get to know Him through a sermon or by studying a book. True, we can get to know him in a personal way only when the Holy Spirit reveals Him to us as the unigue Son of God.
