A study of the terminology of the Revelation of St. John pertaining to sacrificial cult evidences an essential transformation that is brought about by the faith in Jesus Christ. His salvific death on the cross affected a cessation of the Old Testament cult officiated in the Jerusalem Temple and the multiplicity of Old Testament sacrifices came to be replaced by the one and unique sacrifice made by Jesus Christ on the cross for the salvation of the whole world. Thanks to his offering people are liberated from sins that separate them from God and gained direct access to Him, i.e. participation in Divine life – eternal salvation. Speaking of the salvific offering of Jesus Christ the Revelation shows Christ above all as the Lamb who makes an offering of himself and that is why the theological implications relevant to the theme of sacrificial cult in the last book of the Holy Scripture are to be sought in this image. It is noteworthy that the Old Testament sacrificial terminology is virtually absent in the Revelation of St. John because everything that is related to the sacrificial cult is taken over by Jesus Christ. The manifold sacrifices of the Old Testament were merely foretokens of the one and unique sacrifice that Jesus Christ – the Lamb – offered on the cross for the salvation of the whole world. Thus, in the Revelation St. John does not refer any more to the sacrifices of the Old Testament but to the sacrifice of Christ, who redeemed man giving him access to God and this means salvation.

I propose in the present article a reflection upon the mystery of God’s love, revealed and materialized in Jesus Christ, which directly relates to the community of the Church. The analyzed texts have been taken from the last book of the New Testament. One of the essential features of ecclesiology in the Apocalypse is a conviction that the Church is a community begotten from Jesus’ love, invariably upheld, enhanced and led through Christ’s love. I have chosen texts from the Apoca-lypse which explicitly refer to Jesus’ love to the Church and express this idea by means of two characteristic verbs of John’s tradition, namely agapao and fileo. Although the said verbs are not often employed in the Apocalypse (four times: 1:5; 3:9; 12:11; 20:9 and two times: 3:19; 22:15 respectively), they are, however, mostly used in passages which describe a relationship between Christ and the community of the Church (1:5; 3:9-19; 20:9). During the liturgy, the Church worships Jesus, whose love is the foundation for everything (1:5): it is expressed through deliverance from sin, a sacrifice of one’s own life and man’s participation in Christ’s victory and reign. The Church is obliged to show the world a clear testimony to love (3:9). It is being incessantly admon-ished and brought up by Christ, called up to renew zeal and conversion (3:19). As “the camp of the saints and beloved city” (20:9), the Church actively participates in the battle against evil and, sup-ported by the loving God and Lamb, it lives on assured of Christ’s ultimate victory.

Autor niniejszego artykułu proponuje refleksję nad tajemnicą Bożej miłości, objawionej i urzeczywistnionej w Jezusie Chrystusie, która bezpośrednio odnosi się do wspólnoty Kościoła. Analizowane teksty zostały zaczerpnięte z ostatniej księgi Nowego Testamentu, jaką jest Apokalipsa św. Jana, określana niekiedy jako synteza całego Pisma Świętego. Będąc księgą napisaną w Kościele i dla Kościoła, opisuje wspólnotę w jej różnorodnych wymiarach. Jednym z istotnych rysów eklezjologii Apokalipsy jest przekonanie, że Kościół to wspólnota zrodzona z miłości Jezusa, podtrzymywana, umacniana i prowadzoną ciągle tą samą Chrystusową miłością. Wskazują na to przede wszystkim te teksty Apokalipsy, które wprost mówią o miłości Jezusa do Kościoła, a ideę te wyrażają przy pomocy dwóch charakterystycznych czasowników tradycji Janowej, jakim są agapao i fileo.
