The Only Way?

Melinda at STR.org:

I heard R.C. Sproul explain a very useful tactic when he's been accused of being closed-minded for thinking Jesus is the only way to salvation.  He asks the critic, "Do you think that Jesus is one way to salvation?" Most likely the critic will answer yes since they want to be open-minded and inclusive.

He then answers, "I do too.  But then I have to take Jesus as an authority and what He says seriously.  And Jesus himself says He's the only way."  Then he shows them Jesus' own words.  The authority rests on Jesus then, not us.

Greg has compiled over 100 of the verses where the New Testament says Jesus is the only way.  It's a handy, small booklet.
