There are few church fathers who show the love of God and powerfully as he does. Expect to see more from him in the future:
Here is a quote from him discussing the paradoxical nature of God’s ‘justice.’
Enjoy!
“How can you call God just, when you read the passage on the wage given to the workers?
‘Friend, I do thee no wrong; I will give unto this last even as unto thee who worked for me from the first hour. Is thine eye evil, because I am good?’
How can a man call God just, when he comes across the passage on the prodigal son, who wasted his wealth in riotous living, and yet only for the contrition which he showed, the father ran and fell upon his neck, and gave him authority over all his wealth?
None other but His very Son said these things concerning Him lest we doubt it, and thus He bares witness concerning Him.
Where, then, is God’s justice?
‘For whilst we were sinners, Christ died for us!’”
St. Isaac the Syrian
