Hidden from the wise and learned and revealed to children.

"......O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes." (Matthew 11:25)

A person may be the best in any field in this world, but that does not mean he is omniscient or a great genius. He will have some weakness. You will know that only if you get close to him.

Albert Einstein is hailed as the greatest scientist in the world. Although he was a genius in science, his knowledge was a barrier to knowing God.

Albert Einstein was the most intelligent person ever born in the history of this world. Amazed by his knowledge, scientists preserved his brain after his death and researched how this man's brain thought like this and how his brain was different from other people's brains.

But one incident in his life will surprise us. Once he was traveling by train to somewhere. The ticket inspector of the train came to him and asked him to show the ticket. Einstein searched everywhere, his shirt, his trousers, the pocket of the coat he was wearing. But ticket was  not available.

The ticket examiner who was looking at him, said, "Dr. Einstein, I know you. You must have bought a ticket. No problem, our country is proud of geniuses like you. In fairness, the government should have given you free travel facility...sit down." and moved to the next compartment, 

But Einstein bent down and searched for the ticket under his seat. Noticing that, the ticket inspector said, "Dr. Einstein, it's okay, I don't need it." To which Einstein replied, "Sir, you may not need it, but I need it. I know where I am going by seeing it only."

Isn't it surprising that the man who was hailed by the world as the greatest genius traveled in the world without knowing where he was going? It is no wonder that the thought of the afterlife was a funny story for him when he did not know his worldly journey.

The acclaimed genius Einstein once said of God, “The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this. ...”

Yes, being a genius doesn't mean you know all things. That is why Jesus Christ said, "Father! Lord of heaven and earth! I praise you because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned and revealed them to children." (Matthew 11:25) He said.

Beloved, in this way our knowledge and study can hinder us from knowing God. Let's make sure it doesn't. Let us pray, "Lord, I am dust and dirt, forgive me of my sins and make me know You."
