"Unto Him that loves us, and loosed us from our sins by His blood; ... to Him be the glory and the dominion for ever and ever." (Revelation 1:5-6,RV)
This is equivalent to the clause in the Lord's prayer: "For yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever." (Matthew 6:13)
It is an acknowledgment that Christ is our rightful Ruler, and a request that He will exert His power in us, and reign in us in glory. He has all power in heaven and earth: "And Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth." (Matthew 28:18)
So that when we allow Him to occupy His proper place of authority over us, we can rest on His assurance: "Sin shall not have dominion over you." (Romans 6:14)
Oh, then let us yield to Him His own right, that the work which He has began He may finish to His own eternal glory, and to our own glory in Him.--Present Truth, October 17, 1901--Original title: Back Page.
