The leading theme of this article is the enigmatic “hour” as revealed in the account at Cana (2:1-11). Jesus’ words to his mother, οὔπω ἥκει ἡ ὥρα μου (2:4), are considered obscure and difficult to interpret, causing an intriguing and unresolved controversy within Johannine scholarship. Most exegetes agree that this phrase is to be taken as a denial. According to them, Jesus announces that his hour has not yet come, because this “hour” is bound to the hour when “the Son of Man is glorified”, alluding to his being lifted up on the Cross and raised up “on the third day”. However, there is another solution suggested by a significant number of scholars. They propose reading Jesus’ words οὔπω ἥκει ἡ ὥρα μου as a question, which better guarantees the overall coherence of the story in light of the wider OT context. This interpretation focuses specifically on the temporal indication of “the third day”, the biblical image of the wedding, and the abundance and high quality of the wine, a beginning of signs and of the revelation of Jesus’ glory which serve to stimulate the faith of his disciples. In this view, this multiplicity of themes indicates that the meaning of the “hour” lies in the motif of fulfillment. Jesus is the Messiah who brings to perfection all that has been foretold in Scripture. His “hour” begins “now” and continues throughout his public life until it reaches its ultimate fulfillment in the glory of his Cross and Resurrection. The present article is focused, therefore, on investigating the interrelations among the main biblical themes brought to the fore in the Cana narrative, and their meanings in relation to the “hour” of Jesus.

The course of history, understood in the perspective of faith, requires its evaluation. The issue is associated with the problem of God’s justice, which will demonstrate itself in the parousia. The parousia is the conclusion of history conceived first of all as history of human liberty. At the same time, it means its fulfillment. During the parousia, history does not merely come to an end, but enters the stadium of fullness that is donated by the God of the end of times. Human history becomes the element of eternity and of its transformed time. One of the aspects of parousia is judgment. It demonstrates God’s justice as victorious in regard to all the threads and events of history which were in contradiction to God’s plan towards creation. Purifying justice of God is realized by Christ as a credible co-participant of history. The Lamb “put to death” becomes the sign of measure of the divine love as well as the price of redemption.

Wychodząc z „ewangelickiej” perspektywy teologii reformacji angielskiej artykuł ten odnosi się z uznaniem do teologii prawa zawartej w encyklice Veritatis splendor, w jej implikacjach dla zrozumienia prawa publicznego. Podkreśla zwłaszcza trzy aspekty encykliki: (1) ujęcie prawa jako wewnętrznego wymiaru dynamicznego objawienia się Boga w Jezusie Chrystusie jako Prawdy i Dobra, który zobowiązuje ludzi jako sprawców działania moralnego oraz jest podstawą ich wolności; (2) ukazanie tendencji obecnych we współczesnej filozofii i teologii moralnej, które oderwały prawo i wolność stworzonej i upadłej wspólnoty ludzkiej od historii ich odnowy i udoskonalenia, czemu świadectwo daje Pismo Święte; (3) ukazanie Kościoła jako wspólnoty wiary i uczniów, której Chrystus powierzył objawienie jedności Bożej obietnicy i prawa oraz przekazał Ducha Prawdy i Świętości. Uwydatniając te aspekty, artykuł zwraca również uwagę na słabo rozwinięte zagadnienie prawa jako objawienia Bożego wyroku potępiającego grzesznych ludzi jako sprawców, tak na wewnętrznym forum sumienia, jak i na społecznym forum prawa publicznego. Wskazuje także na pokrewną kwestię Kościoła, który daje świadectwo o zmartwychwstałym Chrystusie przezwyciężającym potępienie płynące z prawa.

From the ‘evangelical’perspective of English Reformation theology, this article considers appreciatively the theology of law in Veritatis Splendor in its implications for understanding public law. It highlights three features of the encyclical: 1. its unfolding of law as an intrinsic dimension of God's dynamic revelation of himself in Jesus Christ as the Truth and the Good who obliges human beings as actors and grounds their freedom; 2. its exposing of tendencies in contemporary moral philosophy and theology which have severed the law and freedom of created and fallen human community from the history of their perfecting renewal witnessed in the Scriptures; 3. its portrayal of the church as the community of faith and discipleship, to whom Christ has entrusted the `showing forth' of God's promise and law in their unity, and imparted the Spirit of Truth and Holiness. In highlighting these features, the article also draws attention to the under-developed theme of law as the revelation of God's condemning judgment on sinful human actors, both in the internal forum of the conscience and the social forum of public law, and the corresponding theme of the church's witness to the risen Christ's overcoming of the law's condemnation.
