For all the centuries
Dr. Roberto MirandaWhen the Lord Jesus Christ declares that 'the kingdom, the power, and the glory' belong to God 'forever,' He is saying, 'forever.' The word in the original Greek that is translated into Spanish 'for all the centuries' is aion, which means 'epoch, ages, times, century, eternity'. It is a reference to what has no end, to an endless, inconceivably long measure of time.
Jesus is declaring that God's Lordship is eternal, forever and ever. The Lord's Prayer ends by inviting us to set our eyes on eternity. When this world, with all its cares and dangers, is over, we still have eternity to live, those of us who have lived and died in Christ Jesus.
