“But some of them became obstinate; they refused to believe and publicly maligned the Way.” Acts 19:9a
You may be surprised to learn that the term “Christian” did not come along during the days Jesus walked the Earth. Those who followed Jesus’ teachings were originally called “the Way.” In fact, when they were first called “Christians” it was only to mock them as being “little Christ’s”. In some ways, I almost wish we still were called “the Way” because that is exactly what Jesus was, and it is also what we are. Jesus clearly said He was the ONLY “way” into heaven, and we are supposed to point the way! Unfortunately, we live in a world where many people who call themselves Christians do not believe Jesus is the only way to a right relationship with God. This thinking is in direct conflict with the Word of God and with Jesus Himself. Jesus said He was the only way. All of the prophets agreed, the miracles testified, and even the Spirit of God now confirms Jesus is the ONLY WAY. Stand firm in that God-given belief. If Jesus isn’t “the Way,” then everything we stand for is a lie and everything we believe is a joke.
“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'” John 14:6
