In this Commentary Clip, Tony discusses the theological implications of Jesus referring to Himself as the Way, the Truth, and the Life. As he explains, through these words Jesus simultaneously reveals something to us about His relationship to the Father as the eternal Son of God, and His relationship to us through His Incarnation. It is because of this twofold relationship that Jesus is the one Way for human creatures to the Life of God.
