从教会初期，基督徒就以“国度、权柄和荣耀都是祢的，直到永远”来结束主祷文。但这些话并未记录在马太福音和路加福音最初的手稿中，我们在耶稣教导门徒的祷告中也没有看到这部分内容。

然而，我们却在旧约大卫王的祷告中找到非常相似的话。今天历代志上29章的经文说到：“耶和华啊，尊大、能力、荣耀……都是祢的……国度也是祢的……”。我们发现这些话很适合结束耶稣教导的祷告。

不仅如此，用颂歌——即崇敬赞美的宣告结束祷告是一种传统的模式。我们也可以和历世历代的基督徒一样，以颂歌来满有信心和喜乐地结束主祷文。

这些话会提醒我们记念我们救主——神的威严，能力和荣耀。这在我们心中产生共鸣，使我们确信神爱我们，祂会供应我们，也会维系祂所造的世界。这也指向神的国完全降临的那一天，万物都将欢喜颂赞祂的圣名，直到永远。

From the earliest days of the church, Christians have ended the Lord's Prayer with the words "For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever." But those words are not in the earliest manuscripts of Matthew or Luke, so we don't find them with the prayer that Jesus taught his disciples.

However, we do find something very similar in a prayer of King David from the Old Testament. Our passage today from 1 Chronicles 29 includes the lines "Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory…Yours, Lord, is the kingdom…" And we can easily see that these words make a fitting closing to the prayer Jesus taught.

What's more, it was a standard practice to end prayers with a doxology—a declaration of highest praise. So, like other Christians throughout the centuries, we can declare this doxology with confidence and joy when we come to the end of the Lord's Prayer.

These words remind us of the majesty, power, and glory of God, our Savior. They resonate in our hearts and assure us that God loves us, provides for us, and sustains the world he has made. They also point forward to the day when God's kingdom will be fully known and all of creation will rejoice and praise his holy name forever.
