“To the only [wise] God our [Savior], be glory and majesty, [dominion] and [power], both now and [ever]. Amen. Commentary: So let us look at a few Greek words and gain a little perspective on the importance of this verse for today and forever! So the word ‘wise’ means something a little different than we might think! Who is wiser than God? Than Christ? The word used here means observing his creation from the vantage point high up like a watchman on a wall! That is he does not miss anything! He observes men their motives and actions! He sees everything! Nothing escapes his eyes! Even the thoughts of men cannot hide from him! He observes his creation because he created it! He owns it! It is his! He paid for it on a Cross! He observes men to see if they live according to his established will and purpose for their lives! Do they glorify God or reject him? Is God able to establish his purpose in them and through them? Or do they resist him? Dominion used here means strength and force with manifold power! Power with the capability to do anything! No human limitations! The word ‘ever’ means the duration and continuation of time! Amen means ‘so be it’. If you were God and created all that there is would you not be a watchman on the wall? So concerned about the direction of man that you had to sacrifice yourself for them? True love is sacrificial! Not what I can get but what I can give! Jesus demonstrated his care for us on a Cross! A shepherd that gave his life for the sheep! He demonstrated his love for us! He has the authority and power to either condemn you to hell or send you to heaven to be with him forever! However you give him this power determined by your choice either to receive him as Savior or reject him! Jesus separates the sheep from the wolves! They are separated while we are living our lives right down here on earth! He will not put the wolves and the sheep in the same pasture! Jesus is the watchmen looking for you!
