He had neither comeliness nor beauty, but he had not ceased to be the power of God. He appeared a man, but the divine majesty and glory of the Father shone on earth.<br/><i>— LETTER 27</i></p><p><b>Cyril of Alexandria</b>: And this is the Lord of glory, and we too have come to know his glory. However, those of old did not see it when he showed himself during the dispensation in which he was made man, equal to God the Father in strength, operation and glory, bearing all things by the word of his power and with great tranquillity performing godly works, enhancing creation, raising the dead and performing other deeds of wonder effortlessly. For the glory of the Lord appeared, and all flesh saw the salvation of God, that is, of the Father. For he has sent us his Son from heaven to salvation and redemption. For the law brings no one to perfection, for the sacrifices in prefigurative form were unable to deal with sin. But we have been perfected in Christ and reconciled from every fault as we have been honored with the spirit of sonship.<br/><i>— COMMENTARY ON Isaiah 3:4.40:3-5</i></p><p><b>Gaius Marius Victorinus</b>: But when he took on flesh, he took on the universal logos of flesh. For he triumphed over the powers of all flesh in the flesh, and thus he came to the aid of all flesh, as is said in Isaiah, \"all flesh will see the salvation of God,\" and in the psalms, \"All flesh will come to you.\"<br/><i>— AGAINST ARIUS 3:3</i></p><p><b>Gregory the Dialogist</b>: \"And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.\" Because by \"all flesh\" is meant every person, not every person was able to see the salvation of God, namely Christ, in this life. Where then does the prophet direct the eye of prophecy in this statement except to the day of the last judgment? When, with the heavens opened, angels ministering, apostles seated alongside, Christ shall appear on the throne of His majesty, all—both the elect and the reprobate alike—will see Him, so that the just may rejoice without end in the gift of recompense, and the unjust may groan perpetually in the vengeance of punishment.<br/><i>— 40 Homilies on the Gospels, Homily 20</i></p><p><b>Theodoret of Cyrus</b>: The one who has made these declarations, he says, is incapable of deceit. As for me, I am greatly astonished at those who think that the prophet has made these prophecies on the subject of the return from Babylon; for they should have considered that the prophetic text has clearly proclaimed in advance that the salvation of God would be evident for all people, whereas this return [from exile] was not evident for all, while the cross of the Savior and the sufferings of the Master have reached even to the ends of the earth.<br/><i>— COMMENTARY ON Isaiah 12:40.5</i></p>","source_html_sha256":"f6ab6f7565bef8cc2549eec54a7fb7d82eadf11cf2384ef77408f6c51e49fd8c","source_module":"ECF","source_row_id":7379,"source_url":"https://www.sermonindex.net/commentary/ecf/","text_sha256":"49523641b5d1b8640e0d82915a298c63fce4007b8341d2d72edcc674cda15f65","translator":null,"work":null}
