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. I. The KINGDOM. 1. God's kingdom is universal over all men or things, over all persons in the world. 2. It is special. Which notes His relation to the saints. It is the duty of a king to defend his subjects and provide for their welfare. II. The POWER. Titles without power make authority ridiculous. We can ask nothing but what God is able to give — yea, above our asking. III. The GLORY. The honour and glory of all will redound to God, the comfort accrueth to us. IV. The DURATION. For ever. All excellencies which are in God, are eternally in God. (Thomas Manton, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. |
