DIDACTIC UNIT: Christology Course

Introduction

I write the three most important ideas of each unit:

1. The death of Jesus has been presented, from a vision distorted by fundamentalism, only as sacrifice and atonement. And from there he ends up deducting and conceiving God as "sadistic", as if he was essential the blood of Jesus to redeem and save.
2. With this, in addition, it is achieved that the life, message and mission of Jesus seem irrelevant.
3. There is a type of religiosity that confines Jesus to a small space and even emptying content. It is intended to consume the part that interests him and, thus, under the pretext that Jesus’s humanity covers his divinity, the figure of Jesus into ridiculous and his incarnation is ended in just the opposite to incarnate.
4. But so serious is the incarnation, the "before" of Jesus, how to do it with the "after", that is to say with his followers, continuators of his mission. Jesus becomes a character of the past, to contemplate in the showcase of history. It really only its follow -up makes us share its causes and only its causes make us followers.

Developing

1. The story of Jesus can be taken as a past story, just to remember, or can be used as a normative code, just to repeat. But it is worth asking if what Jesus lived, what he said and did is relevant as praxis and as a rule. And is all this or rather you have to be able to differentiate the essentials from the circumstantial?
2. The study of Jesus’ life can have different accents that can sometimes confuse us. The study of the historical Jesus is fixed in the life and work of Jesus of Nazareth while studies on the Christ of Faith emphasize a more "supernatural" vision, in Jesus Christ the son of the Father.
3. Precisely to avoid confusion we must ask ourselves about relevant issues that move in the field of intersection between these two great accents: what was the claim of Jesus? How did you understand your mission? Why did Jesus die? Because they killed him?

Unit three

• Jesus preaches the kingdom of God, but does not do it from theories or ideologies, but does it by incarnating in Him. He did it from the attitude, the gesture, the good news, the verb, the commitment. A commitment to man and his happiness. For this, Jesus lives and therefore is crucified. It can be said that the kingdom is the cause of crucifixion.
• But why is the kingdom taken to the cross? He himself tells us that the kingdom is a reality that releases: "The blind people see, the lame, the lepers are healed and the deaf hear, the dead rose and the poor are announced the good news". (Lc 7, 22). Thus, Jesus is commanding a whole release movement that returns dignity to the oppressed and rejects enslavement factors.
• But all this is not done from a "caudillista" messianism that fights with the same weapons as evil. On the contrary, it is a universal love that, although in the eyes of the anti-reino it may seem paradoxical, loving everyone is able, in turn, of preferentially loving the weakest, small, humiliated and oppressed.

Unit four

1. When we say "Jesus dies on the cross" we run the danger of forgetting that Jesus was killed, they executed him on the cross. Like the one who killed him, he had causes that detach themselves from his coherence with respect to his cause, by forgetting that he was killed, we forgot why they did it. And so we turn the crucified into an isolated image of his life, message, attitudes and work.
2. Not only is it forgotten that Jesus was killed, is that he has also become the cross, and with her to the fact that occurs in it, the crucifixion of Jesus, a religious "merely" fact. The cross turned into a symbol, an ornament, either for temples either to hang on the neck … but so many times emptied of content, of its deepest sense. A comfortable cross, which weighs little, away from it the crucified and its causes.
3. Jesus is crucified by subversive, because his message and his practice are coherent and revolutionaries. No follow -up of the crucified outside its cause is possible. It is impossible, no matter how much we have it, believe yourself a follower of Jesus and feel alien to the future of so many victims, of so many crucified.

Unit five

• The resurrection of Jesus is a fact of polyhedral dimensions that can be considered from its different planes: historical, hermeneutical, theological, Christological, soteriological, ecclesiology and eschatological. Confuse and even face these planes only leads us to distort Jesus and his resurrection.
• Therefore, Jesus’ resurrection is a historical fact, but not only that is more than that. But, at the same time, that it is more than that does not mean that it is not too. Therefore, although it transcends and goes beyond the historical fact, it is also a historical fact. The resurrection of Jesus occupies a space in time, it has its historical moment.
• The resurrection of Jesus is not a fact that excludes the humanity of Jesus. And much less excludes his humanity crucified by the causes of his preaching and attitudes. Its causes also resurrect with him.

Unit six

1. The Church as a disciple follower of Jesus will only make sense if it is faithful to the original and real meaning of the life of Jesus, his crucifixion and his resurrection. If, on the other hand, we follow up on Jesus nostalgic archeology or simple ideology, then, it will not be authentic, consistent and faithful to Jesus.
2. That follow -up, therefore, will only be credible if it does what Jesus and if it is like Jesus. In other words.
3. And for this it will be very important.

I write the ten essential ideas of the course 

• Reductionism and fundamentalisms are the great danger when facing the study of the figure and importance of Jesus of Nazareth
• The accents of the historical Jesus and the Christ of faith must be combined so that, far from being antagonistic and incompatible, they can be complemented as different perspectives of the same reality.
• Jesus or preached himself if he preached a kingdom that frees and compromises.
• The Kingdom of God is the kingdom of love, which is present in the good news to the poor, in the liberation of the oppressed.
• Jesus is killed on the cross for those he said and did, consuming the praxis of the kingdom.
• It is impossible to want to be a follower of Jesus if you are not a follower and practitioner of its causes rather than evident in the Gospel.
• The resurrection of Jesus is a fact of polyhedral dimensions. Admits more than one look and, in addition, these complementary looks are really necessary to be able to make a real approach.
• Resurrection is a historical fact and, in turn, is more than that. But that "more being" does not cancel the historical basis.
• The follow -up of Jesus cannot be simple archaeological memory or mere ideology "one day in fashion and another passenger".
• The Church will only be credible as a disciple of Jesus if he does what he did and if it is like him.

conclusion

First I give the professor grace, for letting me present the didactic units two, three and four, out of time given my neurological illness, duly justified with the contribution of the medical leave and with authorization of you (mail dated 30/11/18), without currently being qualified

In response to the qualifications of Unit One (before the disease), five and six, in a situation of treatment, Kepro and Vimpat and medical control Amen of neurological tests I must entrust myself to the good knowledge of the teacher, since this period of medical controlWith its ups and downs and medication changes, I find it impossible. I must recognize that your attention to my person has been exquisite, the delivery times and other issues must be adjective as convenient

The Christology course has formed me in: Jesus Christ is the center, culmination and full realization of God’s plan. He has given me the answer to the question: do we really know Christ? We can know his life and personality as a historical subject, but he must study in the light of faith, reflecting on everything he has said and taught, reaching a theological vision of the mystery of his person and his salvific work. ‘Make Christology’, that is, to meet Jesus Christ
