| Summary: | In this essay concerning the relation of liturgy to life in connection with the order of worship and life for the church first of all the author asks for the so-called Lebensgrund of the church. By the liturgy this "base of life" (the presence of Jesus Christ) comes to life and to an eucharistic form. The comprehensive interpretation of Romans chapt. 12 and 2 Corinthians chapt. 5 (the nunc soteriologicum 5,15 included) leads the author to a new view of the work of Jesus' spirit, who brings reconciliation and converts sinners to justified men. Very early texts of the history of liturgy (New Testament, Didache) prove a borderline bound to faith and to eucharistic communion with the Lord; this borderline separates between inside and outside, between benediction and malediction, between life and death. The statement of 2 Cor 5:16 "With us therefore wordly standards have ceased to count in our estimate of any man..." (or in another version "Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh...") does not abrogate this borderline. When understood in an post-soteriological-anthropological way (as, for instance, like "we do not know anyone being a sinner") this borderline will be ignored, nothing is to say about the permanent danger of sin, the necessity of worship for life will not be realized. The relation of liturgy to life will be relevant for people today only where the "base of life", given by God in Jesus Christ is proved as necessary for life. Because of the biblical and patristic texts (Didache, Justin) the author sees this relation to life in an very near context with the rules of didache and proves the unity of diakonia, didache and mission based in the eucharistic liturgy. In this way it will be a duty for the church today to mark this borderline, too. Finally a theological outline of an order for the liturgy indicates consequences. |
