The Way of Jesus (John 14:1-14)
About this episode
This episode explores the deeper implications of Jesus' claim of being 'the way, the truth, and the life' and presents faith as a practice through a conversation with a Buddhist monk.
Most people know "I am the way, the truth, and the life" as a claim about Jesus' identity. This episode looks at what Jesus said it was supposed to lead to, which turns out to be more demanding than a statement of belief. A Buddhist monk shows up with a clear explanation of what it actually means to follow Jesus. And somewhere between Thomas's honest confusion and Philip's frustrated request, Jesus lays out a vision of faith as practice rather than position.
