In this verse our Saviour opens his commission, and declares, 1. His authority; that all power is committed to him, as. Mediator from God the Father.

2. His office; to reveal his Father's mind and will to. lost world. No man knoweth the Father, but the Son; that is the essence and nature of the Father, the will and counsel of the Father, only as the Son reveals them.

Learn, That all our saving knowledge of God is in and through Jesus Christ; he, as the great Prophet of the church, reveals the mind and will of God unto us for our salvation; and no saving knowledge without him.
