How does Jesus reveal the truth to his people?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus reveals truth to his people through God's sovereign will and not the wisdom of the world.

In Luke 10:21, Jesus rejoices that the Father has hidden truths from the wise and revealed them to babes. This highlights a profound aspect of God's sovereign will in salvation: not everyone perceives or understands divine truths equally. Jesus reaffirms that knowledge and revelation come from God alone, as expressed in Matthew 16:17, where He tells Peter that flesh and blood did not reveal His identity but the Father. This principle reassures believers that our understanding of spiritual truths is a gift of grace from God, eliminating any grounds for pride or self-assertion in knowing Him. It emphasizes the need for humility as we approach God, knowing that understanding comes from His divine revelation.
