6:15 Which in his times he shall shew, [who is] the {f} blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
(f) He combines many words together for one purpose: by which he confirms the power of God, which if we trust steadfastly in, we will not be moved out of our position.
6:15 Which in his time he shall shew. In God's own times. Man knows not the day or hour (Mt 24:36).
The blessed and only Potentate. All power in heaven and earth had been placed in Jesus Christ's hands (Mt 28:18 Re 17:14 19:16).
6:15 Which - Appearing. In his own times - The power, the knowledge, and the revelation of which, remain in his eternal mind.
6:11-16 It ill becomes any men, but especially men of God, to set their hearts upon the things of this world; men of God should be taken up with the things of God. There must be a conflict with corruption, and temptations, and the powers of darkness. Eternal life is the crown proposed for our encouragement. We are called to lay hold thereon. To the rich must especially be pointed out their dangers and duties, as to the proper use of wealth. But who can give such a charge, that is not himself above the love of things that wealth can buy? The appearing of Christ is certain, but it is not for us to know the time. Mortal eyes cannot bear the brightness of the Divine glory. None can approach him except as he is made known unto sinners in and by Christ. The Godhead is here adored without distinction of Persons, as all these things are properly spoken, whether of the Father, the Son, or the Holy Ghost. God is revealed to us, only in and through the human nature of Christ, as the only begotten Son of the Father.
