All attempts at describing the mystery of salvation are only partial. The idea of salvation, although it is considered a little archaic today, deserves being examined closely again as one of the concepts that belong to absolutely key ones. It appears as a “structure of our construction and of our future”, so it refers to the essence of man and is sort of “prophecy of his existence”. Theology of salvation appears to every man as a promise – or a suggestion – that a man is not alone and that he builds himself, exceeding himself and accepting the fact that God is different. Salvation is always visible where a certain “possibility”, a potentiality emerges in front of a human person; that is, where a being is not completed and has a perspective of being positively different. Salvation is where there is a meaning. Who utters the word “salvation”, says that nothing in his life of in the history of the world is subject to fatalism, nothing is inexcusable, impossible to mend, incurable. This truth testifies that although God has not liberated us from evil yet, He has liberated us from the tyranny of evil. Christ’s salvation shows – and here it is exceptional again – what reality should be like for us and by us, and what it will be like through God’s faithfulness to His promises and through faithfulness of our response.

The article offers a complete overview of the Greek and Latin patristic exegesis of Mt 8,11 and Lk 13,28-29 with special focus on the exegetical commentaries of St. Augustine. Church Fathers underlined the ecclesiological dimension of Christ’s eschatological promise. According to St. Augustine and other theologians, those who come “from east and west” are above all pagans who through faith and baptism become members of the Church. Some focus more on the stage of maturation of the Christian faith, thus those who “come from east and west” are the just and holy Christians who have perfected their faith. There is a difference of opinion between Origene and Augustine concerning the word „many”. It should be analyzed in the broader context of their reflections on the universality of salvation. Secondly, the patristic exegesis underlines the eschatological aspect of Christ’ promise. The feast with the patriarchs symbolizes common heritage of faith and Christ is seen as the one who invites all the participants. Thirdly, there is a paranetical aspect of the patristic exegesis. Church Fathers expressed their reflections in the pastoral context, in homilies and spiritual conferences. They point to the quality of the humble faith of the centurion of Capharnaum, which guarantees a future participation in the eschatological feast with the patriarchs.
