Jezus Chrystus – pierwszy i ostatni. Chrystocentryzm kosmiczny kard. G. Biffiego
Jesus Christ – the First and Last. The Cosmic Christocentrism of Card. G. Biffi

Summary/Abstract: This article presents the christocentrism of Cardinal Biffi, which has roots in the Scripture and in the scholastic theology. The Scripture affirms, when speaking of Jesus Christ, that “all things was created through him and for him” and that “He is before all things, and in him all things hold together” ( Col 1,16–17). Biffi noticed that l’Apostle thinks about the Incarnated Word and not only about the Logos. This evident paradox Cardinal resolves with five norms which govern relations between a temporality and eternity. For his christology, is of great importance, fact that Risen Christ is gone to eternity of God and lives in his real human body at the right hand of the Father. Jesus Christ, in atemporal eternity, can be an eternal mediator who works both in the beginning and in the end, in the act of creation and in the redemption of all humanity. Biffi introduced the term “christocentric principle”. Whole Universe created through Christ is signed by the same structure which has the logic of passion, death and resurrection revealed by the Incarnated Word. A destination of all humanity and all matter is to be transfigured like the body of Glorified Christ. The author of article after the enlightening of Cardinal`s christology reflects about new prospectives on the understanding of Christ Event.
