For all the centuries

SUMMARY: The Lord's Prayer declares that the kingdom, power, and glory belong to God forever. This means that God's dominion and lordship are eternal and irrevocable. The hope of a life to come keeps us motivated and full of joy despite the troubles of this world. One day, God will fulfill his will on earth as it is in heaven, and all believers will reign with Christ for all eternity. We can endure afflictions in this world, knowing that we are more than conquerors through Christ who loves us.

When 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.
