Jedyność pośrednictwa zbawczego Chrystusa i Kościoła w perspektywie Dominus Iesus

Abstract

The article discusses following issues (problems): Problem deals with dangers of the uniqueness of saving Christ’s and Church’s mediation for the humanity. It concerns the temporary world, but has biblical roots. The world seeks it’s solutions in lay ideas (immanentality, postmodemistic mentality). Principle questions concern faith issue that means whether the world will summon up the courage to accept resolution proposed by God in Jesus Christ. The faith teaches, that revelation history is closely connected with the salvation history. Separation of these two aspects of the same salvation economy leads us towards subjectivism. In Christ God has given us complete truth, made Him the one salvation mediator, because “there is no other salvation in anyone” (Acts. 4,12). Saving mediation of Jesus Christ was made in His only sacrifice in universal dimension. This saving Jesus Christ mediation is carried on in the Church and through the Church by the power of the Holy Spirit. In Christ, who stands on the top of the whole creation, humanity finds its identity and destiny (Col. 1, 25-20). After the Resurrection Jesus proclaimed, that it is a power given to Him in Heaven and on Earth (Mt. 28, 18). The world was determined in Christ again. He as a fullness is filling everything of His existence and includes it in the plan of grace and love of the Holy Trinity. Thanks to Him nature unites itself with grace. The mediation as it was described above realizes itself in the mystery and sacrament dimension. God acts in history infallibly. His work leads towards gathering in God everything what sin dispersed before. Recapitulation mystery realizes in history simultaneously.
