10.11 For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever
In the NKJV, the Lord’s Prayer ends with “For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.” This last line is omitted from many other translations.
But let’s talk about that last line anyway. First of all, the prayer is not made in the name of Jesus. But as Jesus was about to go to the cross, He taught his disciples to make prayer requests in His name. Today, we get to pray in the name of Jesus in the New Covenant. It is not a formula, but it is the revelation that we are asking with the authority of Jesus, for we are in Christ.
The prayer ascribes the kingdom, the power and the glory to God. It is a glorious closing line. But today, the fullness of God has come into the believer. We are the temple of the Holy Spirit under the New Covenant.
We have shared earlier that the kingdom of God is within us. It is not on the outside, but on the inside. Today, the power of God is also at work within the believer. It is not on the outside, but on the inside.
(Eph 3:20-21)
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the POWER THAT WORKS IN US, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
Likewise, the glory of God is also revealed within the believer as sons of God. It is not on the outside, but on the inside.
(Rom 8:18-19)
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the GLORY which shall be REVEALED IN US. For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the SONS OF GOD.
Today, as the veil of the law is removed (2 Cor 3:15), and as we behold Christ, we will be transformed into the same image from glory to glory.
(2 Cor 3:18)
But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
The kingdom, the power and the glory of Christ is within us. We can let is be revealed through us. Today, we end this series on the fulfillment of the Lord’s Prayer in the New Covenant.
