Why does the Father hide things from the wise and intelligent and reveal them to infants?
Here, Jesus means those that think they are 'wise and intelligent', the skeptics that seek proof of God's existence, and that Jesus is the Son of God. By infants, he means those that are humble and willing to 'let go' and let God control their lives and deeds.

Because the wise think they are the know it alls and then harder to change if they think their way is righ.. The infants are new sprits and easier to learn the right way that is taugh to them.

Why does the Father hide things from the wise and intelligent and reveal them to infants?
The wise will claim that they have the idea through their wisdom which God denied them and gave those who don`t know the likes of infants here as Jesus said. The infants are those who know less and would know more by learning the word of God.

The wise and intellient people think they already everything about who Jesus is and what he can do for them. But the infants are learning the right way to live for the lord.

Why does the Father hide things from the wise and intelligent and reveal them to infants?
I believe that infants are always eager to know and sometimes anxious to learn.Whatever thing you teach infants, they accept; but the wise and the intelligent are sometimes proud and would want to have a proof.

Why does the Father hide things from the wise and intelligent and reveal them to infants?
The wise and intelligent already think they know what they need to know and are arrogant in their own self-esteem while the infants are open to learning and are humble in their lack of understanding and their desire to know more of God.

Why does the Father hide things from the wise and intelligent and reveal them to infants?
Because the wise and intelligent will ask so much questions, and the infants will listen.

Rest for the Weary

At that time, Jesus answered, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight. All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.
"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

Matthew 11:25-30
