77: “Jesus – The Only Way to God? Doesn’t That Sound Arrogant?”

Description

It’s a point commonly made by people either exploring faith, or critiquing it from a distance: ‘Doesn’t Jesus sound pretty arrogant when he says, “I am the way, the truth and the life; No one comes to the Father except through me”?’
Other faiths obviously disagree with this statement. So how do we as Christians, relate to people of other faiths without sounding like we are being arrogant, or making an exclusive claim to a relationship with God?
David explores some of the answers to this question.
