For
Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. (Matthew 6:13 MKJV)
This text reminds me of the beginning of the
Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6:9. Here it’s all about God being praised and about
His goodness!
This part of the Lord’s Prayer starts by
addressing God and then talks about the kingdom of God. This is the end of the
Lord’s Prayer. But in the beginning of the Lord’s Prayer we also read about the
kingdom of God, then flows the physical needs of the people. This is like “Give
us our daily bread” in Matthew 6:11. After that we read about the forgiveness of
sins in Matthew 6:12. This is about the brokenness of people and need for
forgiveness.
Now at the end of the Lord’s Prayer we read
the same words as stated, by Jesus, at the beginning of the Lord’s Prayer. This
last part acts as a testimony
about God. He is the owner of the kingdom. He is the powerful one and He is almighty.
All glory to Him and He will be forever!
It is because of the power of God that He
can provide for us. For example the verse that says, “our daily bread” in
Matthew 6:11. With the ending of the Lord’s Prayer we tell God that we not only
know that He is powerful but that we are certain that He will provide for us on
earth.
In other words, it’s all about the firmness
of our faith and the Word of God!
Till next time!
