Matthew 11:25

‘Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes’

Read Psalms 147:1-20

This fact is demonstrated in the Scriptures over and over again. Only those who are willfully ignorant will miss it. God hides the gospel from some men and reveals it to others, according to his own good pleasure and his own sovereign will. God revealed the gospel to Abel, but Cain was blind to it. God told Noah and his family the message of his grace, but all the rest of the world was lost in ignorance. God spoke graciously and revealed himself to Abraham, but the gospel was hidden from all the other men of Ur. God revealed his grace to Lot and sent the messengers of mercy to Lot, but all the other families of Sodom perished in ignorance. God told Moses, Aaron and the children of Israel how to be saved on the night of destruction in Egypt, but he gave Pharaoh and the Egyptians no message of mercy.

How many there are today in the church of Christ who can attest to this fact from their own experience! God sends his servants to some cities and countries to establish it gospel witness; others he leaves without light. He calls one member of a family; the others he leaves in darkness. He called you and gave you life in Christ, but many of your friends and companions are yet in the bondage of death and sin. What made the difference? Surely it was not because you were better than they were. In all likelihood, you were the worst of the crowd. The difference is just this: ‘He hath mercy on whom he will have mercy.’ ‘Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!’ (Romans 11:33.)

There is a people in this world who have been purchased and redeemed by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. In the time of his grace and, love, God the Holy Spirit will come to those very people, the elect of God, the redeemed ones of Christ, with irresistible power and he will reveal the gospel in their hearts causing them to believe on Christ. All others will be left to perish in their chosen ignorance.
