Theophylact of Ohrid, on 1Thess 1:10

“And to wait for his Son from heaven (whom he raised up from the dead,) Jesus, who hath delivered us from the wrath to come.”

“And this is a characteristic of the same method; because in the form of a narrative he taught them to await the Son of God. For the greatest consolation for those who grieve is that the One who suffered has risen and is in heaven, that He will come and deliver us who grieve from the coming wrath, that is, from punishment, as those who have truly pleased Him through faith and a blameless life. But those who cause us grief He will not spare. Since afflictions are overhead, while blessings are in the future, the apostle ascribes to them great faith, as those who await and firmly hope in what is to come.”
