Imperatyw cierpienia według Łk 24,44-48

Abstract

Luke’s narrative focus (Luk 24,44-48) is on the interpretative word of the risen Jesus, a word that develops previous words in the resurrection account. Now, more explicitly, the whole assembly of disciples is told that ‘everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled’ (V. 44). The risen Jesus opens the disciples mind to understand the meaning of Scriptures and which is summarized in the necessity of the Messiah’s suffering (VV. 7.26). The veil of mystery is now drown back to reveal the fulfillment of all the scriptures and the meaning of the passion prophecy which was hidden and, therefore, incomprehensible to the disciples (Luk 9,45; 18,34). The direct intervention of the risen Christ is essential for Luke. The disciples cannot make that move for themselves. Only the risen Christ can take them from mystery into revelation through opening their minds to the divine purpose in scripture and the divine purpose in the journey of Jesus. The word of God cannot be separated from the event – the word was given as promise, the event happens as fulfillment.
