For the Son of Man
The title "Son of Man" is deeply rooted in the Old Testament, particularly in the book of Daniel 7:13-14, where it describes a messianic figure endowed with authority and glory. In the New Testament, Jesus frequently uses this title to refer to Himself, emphasizing both His humanity and His divine authority. The phrase underscores Jesus' role as the prophesied Messiah who bridges the divine and human realms.

will come
This phrase points to the future return of Christ, known as the Second Coming. The Greek word "erchomai" is used here, which means to come or to arrive. This coming is not just a physical return but a fulfillment of divine promise and prophecy, marking the culmination of God's redemptive plan for humanity.

in His Father’s glory
The glory of the Father signifies the divine majesty and holiness of God. In the context of Jesus' return, it indicates that He will come with the full authority and splendor of God Himself. This glory is a manifestation of God's presence and power, which will be evident to all at the time of Christ's return.

with His angels
Angels are often depicted in Scripture as messengers and servants of God, executing His will. Their presence at the Second Coming signifies the heavenly authority and the divine order accompanying Jesus. The angels will gather the elect and separate the righteous from the wicked, as described in other scriptural passages like Matthew 24:31.

and then He will repay
The concept of repayment here is tied to divine justice. The Greek word "apodidomi" means to give back or to recompense. This indicates that Jesus, as the righteous judge, will administer justice, rewarding or punishing individuals based on their deeds. It reflects the biblical principle of sowing and reaping, as seen in Galatians 6:7-8.

each one according to what he has done
This phrase emphasizes personal accountability and the moral responsibility of each individual. The judgment will be based on one's actions, reflecting the biblical teaching that faith without works is dead (James 2:26). It underscores the importance of living a life that aligns with God's commandments and the teachings of Christ, as our deeds are a testament to our faith and relationship with God.

(27) For the Son of man shall come.--The fact stands in a logical relation to the preceding verse. The fact that the Son of Man is about to come to execute judgment, clothes its abstract statement with an awful certainty. No bribe can be offered to the Eternal Judge to change the sentence of forfeiture if that forfeiture has been rightfully incurred. From first to last in our Lord's teaching (e.g., for its earlier stages, Matthew 7:23-24; John 5:26-27) this claim to be the future Judge of all men is never absent. It is asserted in every great discourse, implied in almost every parable.

With his angels.--We are justified by Matthew 25:31 in referring the possessive pronoun to Christ rather than the Father. "All things that the Father hath are Mine" (John 16:15), and among these the angels that do His pleasure.

His works.--The better MSS. give a word in the singular, his doing or conduct. The sentence is made to depend on the collective character of what has been done rather than on the multitude of individual acts.

Verse 27. - For the Son of man shall come. The final judgment would put things in their true light - would show the value of self-sacrifice, would reveal the punishment of self-pleasing. Our Lord seems to refer to Daniel 7:13, as it were, in testimony to the truth of what he had just said. Shall come; μέλλει ἔρχεσθαι: venturus est (Vulgate), is more than the bare announcement, and implies that it is in accordance with the eternal counsels of God that he should appear this second time. In the glory of his Father. As one with the Father, and his Representative. So he speaks of "the glory which thou hast given me" (John 17:22). Reward; ἀποδώσει: render, reddet (Vulgate). The term includes punishment as well as recompense. Works (πρᾶξιν); doing, work. The word does not signify isolated acts, but general course of conduct, practice as a whole.
