And yet no less than Jesus himself said we have to get by "revelation" who he is.
21In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that
thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight. 22All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son,
and he to whom the Son will reveal him. Luke 10:21-22
It may come to each in different ways but it must come.
