the wise and prudent
Matthew 11:25
11:25 the wise and prudent. Wisdom and prudence are honored attributes by the world and its leaders, but they are incapable in themselves of producing spiritual understanding. Note I Corinthians 1:19-21. Nevertheless, God has “abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence” (Ephesians 1:8), if we receive them from His Word with the believing trust of little children.
