The Capacity for Divine Love

In this Commentary Clip Exclusive, Tony discusses what may seem like words of coercion coming from Jesus, “Whoever loves me will keep my word…” If we heard these words coming from someone else, we would rightly second guess their intentions. However, as Tony explains, when spoken by the Incarnate Word of God, these words are not coercive, but instead describe something extraordinary about the relationship between the human creature and its loving Creator.
