His Reward is With Him

Isaiah 62:11 KJV

Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.

This passage concerns Christ's coming to set up His kingdom. When He comes the Bible says (and repeats in Isaiah 40:10) He will have His reward with Him and His works before Him. The sense is this, that at the time of Christ's return His work will have preceded Him. He came before and began His work and it has been carried out ever since.

·         The gospel has been proclaimed

·         Believers have been assembled into churches

·         Whole societies have been changed because of the faith of Christ

When Jesus comes anti-Christ will have had his way and Christ will see him before Him. The battle of Armageddon will be merely spoken by Christ and the enemy defeated.

Having His work gone before Him, when Christ comes He will be ready and prepared then to present His rewards. There will be

·         No hesitation

·         No waiting

·         No wondering when God's promised reward will come

Jesus will have it with Him and be fully prepared to deliver.
