It can’t be tel't, it can only be felt

Someone  made this statement--

"It is a mystery as to why the plainness of "Jesus is God" is not present in scripture;"

I replied--
The mystery you speak of can only be known through revelation.

Matthew 11:25-27 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

All truth is made known to us as a gift from God called revelation. That is why Jesus often proclaimed "he who has ears to hear, let him hear". It also stands to reason that there will be some who don't have ears to hear--at least not yet. That's why the invitation is often given by our Lord--to see who has revelation going on.

One of the reasons Jesus told the people not to say anything about Him at various times seems so that He could have folks around Him who were hearing God* (or as I might say, are fixin' to be exposed to the unlimited favor and irresistible grace of God revealed through Jesus) and not just those seeing the signs like getting fed and healed and delivered--as important as those signs are to identify Him as the One. You can always raise a crowd of followers when you meet their physical needs—the idea of Jesus wanting to know who were being spoken to helped him to minister to those who are hearing.

If that makes any sense

1 Corinthians 12:3 ‘Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.’--my words here "by revelation."

Peace
