Matthew 6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For your is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. That is: I. Thou hast a perpetual and unmoveable authority whereby justly to dispose of all things; an indefectible and irresistible power, whereby Thou canst effect whatever seems just and good to Thee. II. Therefore we profess only to rely upon, and seek help from, Thee; with hope and confidence we address ourselves to Thee for the supply of our needs. III. Thine is the glory; all honour and reverence, all love and thankfulness, are due unto Thee, therefore we render our adorations and acknowledgments to Thee. (Isaac Barrow, D. D.) I. The KINGDOM — "Thine." 1. By eternal right. 2. By assuaging wrath. 3. By infinite purchase. II. THINE IS THE POWER. 1. Upon the intellectual world. 2. Upon the political world. 3. Upon the ecclesiastical world. 4. Upon the invisible world. III. THINE IS THE GLORY. (T. Mortimer, M. A.)
