Sažetak
Consciously and intentionally this article abstains from the attempt - which anyhow would be futile - to express the feelings of Jesus at His meeting with death and life which Hi brought to us precisely by His accepting death and the resurrection from the dead. Instead of such an attempt the article brings lines of direction for the reflection on the basis of what we find in the Holy Bible and what is dealt with by theology having in mind that Jesus Christ was a true man and even more than that, that He was the incarnate Son of God and, for mankind, the New Adam who abolishes sin and brings to man, according to its meaning and value, a radically new life. The I. part deals with the sincere attitude of Jesus before physical sufferings and biological death. The II. part considers His attitude towards sin as the cause of death and that attitude is of such quality that Jesus - without underestimating the problem of suffering and death - nevertheless examines the problem further and deeper and, in the first line, He examines the problem of sin. After that, in the III. part, the Lord's reaction to the problem of sin and its consequences are taken into account with the result that by His intervention death becomes a road towards resurrection and a new, ennobled life. Finally, in the IV. part, we see what kind of attitude we human beings could and should take towards the death of Jesus as far as it is death and ; far as it is a way to life, to life in its fullness.
