探討從天上的視角所反思救恩第三部分的主題,就是教會的使命,。
教會既然是萬物在耶穌內合而為一,那麼教會如今就以最清晰的方式彰顯了天主計劃的實現。
教會向誰啟示這真理呢?
保祿的回答令人驚訝:教會向天上的權能彰顯天主的計劃。
難道他們事先不知道這個計畫嗎?
為什麼他們需要地上的人告訴他們呢?
這個問題很難回答。
然而,令我們謙卑地感到自豪的是,我們的使命無比偉大。
我們日復一日地向整個宇宙,包括天使在內,揭示天主和天主的計劃。
Main topic of this third section on Salvation, seen from the standing point of Heaven, in the mission of the Church.
Since the Church is established as the unity in Jesus of all creatures, the Church now manifests in the clearest way, the accomplishment of God’s plan.
To whom does the Church offer such a revelation?
Paul’s answer is surprising: the Church manifests God’s plan to the Heavenly powers.
Did they not know about such plan in advance? How is it that they need people on earth tell them about such plan?
It is difficult to answer such a question.
What, however, fills us of sort of humble pride is the greatness of our mission. We are revealing God, God’s plan. to the whole universe, angelic powers included, day by day.
