[Isaiah] warns us, \"Behold, the Lord comes, and his reward is before his face, to pay each person according to his work.\" He therefore urges us who believe in him with all our heart not to be lazy or careless in any good work. Let our glorying and our confidence be in him. Let us be subject to his will.<br/><i>— 1 CLEMENT 34:2-5</i></p><p><b>Cyril of Alexandria</b>: For our Lord Jesus Christ showed himself to us having divine strength, and his arm with authority, that is, with power and dominion.<br/><i>— LETTER 1:31</i></p><p><b>Ishodad of Merv</b>: \"Behold, his reward is with him,\" that is, Behold, the works of each person are conspicuous before God, and he judges according to what each of us has done, by granting a reward to the good and by abandoning the evil to punishment.<br/><i>— COMMENTARY ON Isaiah 40:10</i></p><p><b>Theodoret of Cyrus</b>: These words are a glimpse of the second coming of the Savior. It is then that he will give the laborers their reward. \"He will reward each according to his works,\" according to the word of the apostle. \"For the Day,\" he says, \"will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is.\" This is the proclamation that the Lord has ordained to the holy apostles to make in their turn. \"Go,\" he has said, \"to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as you go, preach, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' \" One can therefore see that the oracles of the prophet are thus in agreement with the words of the Gospel.<br/><i>— COMMENTARY ON Isaiah 12:40.10</i></p>","source_html_sha256":"9c45979c340e474b621024108c734468740182b3587d042760be3010cbe97759","source_module":"ECF","source_row_id":7382,"source_url":"https://www.sermonindex.net/commentary/ecf/","text_sha256":"631f86ad7f58f54d7f94cc00afcceaa6c81209af42066ae4639309d744c179bc","translator":null,"work":null}
