For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory

Dear SABC Family,This last line in the Lord’s Prayer may destroy you. If you pray it and mean it, everything about you changes. It’s the most dangerous, most subversive, most you-crushing statement you can utter. And I warn you not to play around withit.  For thine is the kingdomAnd the powerAnd the gloryForever. This means that all other loyalties and allegiances become as if they are nothing. Loyalties to family, self, nation, belief, tribe, privilege,. . . they all disappear. Friends, I am not going to lie. This sermon is a sword that will cut deeply and could set one against the other. But that is exactly what Jesus says will happen in Matthew 10 and nothing less can be when we say that only He gets the allegiance, power, and glory. I hope you take a look at the end of the prayer in Matthew 6:13 and come ready to give up yourself and hear from Him. Pastor Jace
