Jesus recognized God's Sovereignty
Matthew 11:25-26 25 At that time Jesus said, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to infants; 26 yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.
Do we ignore Jesus' teaching that God has sovereignty over our free will?
Note: Sovereignty is the quality of having supreme, independent authority. The Father chooses whose eyes are opened to him. This is always hard for me to hear wanting our free will to completely control our destinies, but the Father has his ways and his timing. And as Jesus says, God's will is gracious to us. And so we can still trust God's love for all of humanity will relentlessly pursue each of us until we are reconciled into the arms of the trinity.
