| Summary: | In the New Testament, the death of Jesus is developed through the schema of fact - description - interpretation. The fact of "execution" is deemed an injustice; beyond that it has a meaning expressed by "for us" or "for many." The offering of Jesus is also the self-offering of God in the world. Hereby, the range of the semantic field of "to give" (διδόναι) is mobilised. Where it is a divine surrender, it is a part of the incarnation; where it is a human relinquishing, it occurs in full responsibility before judgment. There can be no talk of either an offering of God’s Son or an offering placed at human disposal. The universal meaning of the acrifice is described in terms of its consequences for humanity (ἵνα-consecutivum): life, justice. Thus God has turned the consequences of the evil deed into good for both the offender and the victim. So God in Jesus also transforms the fate of death into life and the victim into a sacrifice. In the Christ-event interpreted this way, the divine declaration of the sacrifice as propitiation revalues the cruel event in our favor, i.e., revalues the curse of sin into a blessing for us. |
