Jesus said, "All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father and no one the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him." (Matthew 11:27) Jesus reveals himself as the all-sufficient mediator. Martin Luther said of this verse, "Here the bottom falls out of all merit, all powers and abilities of reason or the free will man dreams of, and it counts as nothing before God, Christ must do and must give everything."
Jesus alone both has and knows what the sinner needs. from start to finish salvation is based on grace.
