Features
-
-
-
Crucifix - a representation of Jesus on the cross, should inspire gratitude
contrasting features: altar or table (the Last Supper), crucifix, cross or risen Christ (suffering, victory, resurrection)
The Eucharist
Christ is really/truly present: in the consecrated bread and wine, in the word (Bible readings), in the Priest (working through him), in the worshippers (as the Body of Christ)
Catholics - keeps the sabbath day holy, Orthodox Christians - call the Liturgy believe he is fully present, Anglican Christians - spiritually not literally present
The role of Jesus
The Death of Jesus: he was humiliated (stripped naked, needs help carrying the cross), he restored the relationship humanity's sin had destroyed
The Resurrection:death could hold him, restored the harmony of creation
-
Free will and sin:God made all creation to be perfect, God wants a real relationship. Sin destroyed the harmony between God and creation
Salvation
-
-
future - end of time, power of sin and death completely destroyed
fundamental belief of Christianity, Jesus is the example, the restorer and the victor
Metaphors
St Irenaeus: symbols of the two trees, Jesus is the new Adam
St Anselm: humans are freed by the obedience and death of Jesus, humanity are slaves to sin
Conscience
-
Oscar Romero: martyr for charity, killed for his love and defence of the poor, 'moral hero', spoke from his heart
Maximilian Kolbe: Polish Priest who died in place of another prisoner at Auschwitz, sacrificed himself for others
