What does Jesus' invitation reveal about his relationship with God the Father?

Matthieu 11:27 (NEG79)

27 Toutes choses m'ont été données par mon Père, et personne ne connaît le Fils, si ce n'est le Père; personne non plus ne connaît le Père, si ce n'est le Fils et celui à qui le Fils veut le révéler.

Jesus has a special relationship with the Father. He was always with the Father. There is a self-enclosed world of Father and Son that is opened to others only by the revelation provided by the Son.1 He knows the Father’s intentions (John 1:18). And God the Father has charged him with the execution of the plan of redemption. He has come to do what Father wants (Matthew 11:27). Only those he invites can be saved.
