Come to me

Jesus invites those who are of childlike faith to come to Him and find rest from the legalistic way of earning salvation. Christ invites Him to find rest in His finished work in the new covenant.

Jesus thanks the Father because in His sovereign will He chose to reveal Himself to those who are weak and unwise, who comes to Him by faith.

Our Lord explains how this revelation of God is to be revealed. It is only through Christ.

Having proven that it is only by Christ that God is revealed to us (contrast to legalistic judaism) He now invites us to come to Him and find rest in His person and work.

I think verse 26 is the ground of verse 25.. The basis of election(ie. revealing to the little children) is HIs gracious will or in other translation, the pleasure of his will.

27c-27d should be grouped together. I thinks what's being said is that there are only two people or group who knows the Father, it is the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal the Father.

27b can still be divided before the word "except". The verb for that clause is implied.
