Philippians 4:20
_ _ God and our Father — Translate, “Unto our God and Father.”
_ _ be glory — rather as the Greek, “be the glory.” Not to us, but to Him be “the glory” alike of your gift, and of His gracious recompense to you. |
Philippians 4:20-23
_ _ The apostle concludes the epistle in these verses,
_ _ 1. With praises to God: Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever, Amen, Philippians 4:20. Observe, (1.) God is to be considered by us as our Father: Now unto God and our Father. It is a great condescension and favour in God to own the relation of Father to sinners, and allow us to say to him, Our Father; and it is a title peculiar to the gospel dispensation. It is also a great privilege and encouragement to us to consider him as our Father, as one so nearly related and who bears so tender an affection towards us. We should look upon God, under all our weaknesses and fears, not as a tyrant or an enemy, but as a Father, who is disposed to pity us and help us. (2.) We must ascribe glory to God as a Father, the glory of his own excellence and of all his mercy unto us. We must thankfully own the receipt of all from him, and give the praise of all to him. And our praise must be constant and perpetual; it must be glory for ever and ever.
_ _ 2. With salutations to his friends at Philippi: “Salute every saint in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:21); give my hearty love to all the Christians in your parts.” He desires remembrances not only to the bishops and deacons, and the church in general, but to every particular saint. Paul had a kind affection to all good Christians.
_ _ 3. He sends salutations from those who were at Rome: “The brethren who are with me salute you; the ministers, and all the saints here, send their affectionate remembrances to you. Chiefly those who are of Caesar's household; the Christian converts who belonged to the emperor's court.” Observe, (1.) There were saints in Caesar's household. Though Paul was imprisoned at Rome, for preaching the gospel, by the emperor's command, yet there were some Christians in his own family. The gospel early obtained among some of the rich and great. Perhaps the apostle fared the better, and received some favour, by means of his friends at court. (2.) Chiefly those, etc. Observe, They, being bred at court, were more complaisant than the rest. See what an ornament to religion sanctified civility is.
_ _ 4. The apostolical benediction, as usual: “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all, Amen. The free favour and good will of Christ be your portion and happiness.” |
