About this episode
We live in an age that is allergic to doors. Our culture has declared war on thresholds, boundaries, and distinctions. The modern world loves options, it loves open fields, and it despises narrow gates. Its highest virtue is a gelatinous tolerance, and its greatest sin is to say that there is only one way. It is a world that can stomach a Jesus who is a way, but it cannot abide a Jesus who is the way. Into this relativistic fog, Jesus Christ speaks with the force of a thunderclap. He does not offer Himself as one option among many. He does not present Himself as a helpful suggestion or a spiritual additive to make your life a bit better. He makes an absolute, exclusive, and therefore scandalous claim. The definite article here is a declaration of war against the pluralism of our day and the paganism of every day.
