The Benediction

 

The Benediction

Typically, as Baptist we call the final prayer in worship “The Benediction.”  In the truest since a benediction is a blessing. 

At the very beginning of worship today, I want you to know my prayer for you as we conclude worship today.

It is found in the little book of Jude.  The book only has 25 verses.  In the last two verses contains one of the most beautiful benedictions in all scripture.

 

Jude 24-25

Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, 25 to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.

 

As a minister of the gospel, I thankfully pray these words today, to the only one who can accomplish them, in the strong name of Jesus, Amen.
