Such was Lazarus, and all the saints who rest in the bosom of Abraham, and the souls of the believers, to whom the Apostle Paul spoke: I have fed you with milk.… The queen stood at your right hand in a gold embroidered garment; she nourishes Christ's little ones daily, and leads them to perfect age: and every age, sex, and dignity, will adore Zion because of Him who dwells in it. For if Christ is the head of the Church, the head is worshiped in the body. And if it is said to some: Exalt the Lord our God, and worship at the footstool of His feet (not that the footstool is to be worshiped; but that the majesty of His feet is revealed), why should not the Church, which embraces the whole body of Christ, be worshiped? And what follows: and they shall lick the dust of thy feet, signifies that kings and princes should wipe and wash away with their words whatever earthly work adheres to the feet of the Church.… Through all these things the Church learns that there is no other Lord besides Him, and those who have awaited Him will possess eternal glory.<br/><i>— Commentary on Isaiah</i></p><p><b>Theodoret of Cyrus</b>: And all, even to our own day, stream toward Jerusalem, driven by the desire to see the three longed-for places of the cross, the resurrection and the ascension. Thus, it is from this church, gathered from across the earth and sea, that kings have become foster fathers and rulers providers of nourishment; the first offer firstfruits and the second tithes. These kings, for their part, are even granted an allocation of food for those consecrated to the God of the universe.… The rest of the passage teaches this with clarity. \"With their faces to the earth, they prostrate themselves before you and lick the dust off your feet. You will know that I am the Lord.\" We see these things happening every day. In all the churches the faithful approach with their foreheads bowed to the ground and their lips on the doors to demonstrate their respect for God.<br/><i>— COMMENTARY ON Isaiah 15:49.22-23</i></p>","source_html_sha256":"75f34ee9338187a164060bcd0b235d105d39c167d31d476df35dc7675fe732f9","source_module":"ECF","source_row_id":7574,"source_url":"https://www.sermonindex.net/commentary/ecf/","text_sha256":"75c5a9750f15288240fe07c60710454c152eca5a569ec5b7a18bfa3de036da4b","translator":null,"work":null}
