Esperanza y fe en Jesucristo

Abstract

Tomando como punto de partida el pasaje de los discípulos de Emaús (Lc 24,13-35), el artículo trata en primer lugar, recurriendo al evangelio de Lucas, de fundamentar la esperanza que Jesús tuvo y suscitó a su alrededor. Tras analizar la crisis generada en sus seguidores por su condena y muerte en cruz, examina de la mano del libro de los Hechos cómo elaboraron ese impacto a la luz de la experiencia de Jesús resucitado y ayudados por la Escritura. Al recrearse la esperanza y surgir la fe en Jesús, nace una comunidad que visibiliza el carácter performativo del mensaje cristiano y la centralidad de Jesucristo como el objeto y el garante de su fe y su esperanza.

Using the passage of the Emmaus disciples (Luke 24,13-35) as a starting point, the article firstly attempts to establish the basis for the hope that Jesus had and that which he inspired in those around him by referring to the Gospel according to Luke. Upon analyzing the crisis experienced by the followers of Jesus due to his condemnation and death on the cross, the article examines, with the aid of The Book of Acts, how they wrote about this impact upon discovering that Jesus had been resurrected and how they were aided by the Holy Scripture. By rekindling hope and invoking faith in Jesus, a community was born that portrayed the performative nature of the Christian message and the focus on Jesus Christ as the object and guarantor of their faith and hope
