Note 1 at Mt. 13:11: God's truths are hidden for His children. God has given an open invitation to everyone (Mt. 11:28-30; Jn. 3:16; Acts 2:39; Rom. 10:11-13; Rev. 22:17) to receive the spiritual rebirth which entitles them to the revelation of these mysteries of the kingdom (Jn. 7:17; 14:26; 15:15,26; 1 Cor. 2:10,16). But as stated in 1 Corinthians 2:14, a natural man cannot receive the things of the Spirit of God because they are spiritually discerned. Therefore, whoever rejects Jesus rejects the source of all wisdom and knowledge (Col. 2:3), thereby reserving the deep things of God to those who receive Jesus and draw on His wisdom through the Holy Spirit. This also safeguards the laws of God, upon which all the universe is founded, from being appropriated and misused by Satan's kingdom.
