Sakramentalny charakter Słowa Bożego

Abstract

The subject of the article is a relation between a word of God and a sacrament. Pope Benedict XVI talks about the sacramentality of the word of God. Some theologists identify the word of God with the sacrament. The sacramentum futuri category is helpful in understanding this problem. It includes words of the Bible as well as described facts in terms of Jesus Christ. His types are facts connected with creation and biblical history of Israel. Sacramentality of the word of God is noticeable in his creative power as well as in his prophetic and sacrifing power. Sacramenta futuri have been filled with the incarnation of Son of God and his paschal mystery. Incarnate Word became the sacrament of God. Incarnate Son of God set seven holy sacraments. He made them the source of sancifying power. They are transmission of mystery of incarnation and Passover of Logos.
