The Way - Christians have chosen a common path called “the Way.” They have decided to follow Jesus, who is “the way, the truth, and the life.” The way reminds us that we have a destination. We are on a path through life. We have choices regarding the roads we travel, the things we do, the places we go, and the decisions we make. Our way leads somewhere specific. We are moving toward eternity with Jesus. Remember that you are part of “the Way” on a journey with Jesus. Let Him direct your steps. Follow Him

“I confess this to you, that according to the Way, which they call a sect, I do serve the God of our fathers.” - Acts 24:14 NASB

Sometime in early church history, followers of Jesus collectively began to be called “the Way.” 

This became a simple description that summarized the Christian life. It reminds us that life is a journey. 

We do not arrive instantly at our destination. 

We travel through places and times.

We go through experiences. 

We learn through the places we have visited, the experiences we have gone through, and the mistakes we have made.

Describing our journey as “the Way” demonstrates that there are no instant cures.

No one has infinite or complete knowledge.

Even a man as wise as Paul knew he was on a journey, learning step by step how to follow Jesus.

The word way reminds us that we are on a path through life. 

We have choices regarding the roads we travel, the things we do, the places we go, and the decisions we make. 

People who are Christians have chosen a common path — “the Way.”  

They have decided to follow Jesus, who is “the way, the truth, and the life” - (John 14:6). 

We obey His Word.

“The way” reminds us that we have a destination.

Many people spend their lives wandering around, moving toward unsure destinations, or pursuing the wrong destination. 

But our way leads somewhere specific. 

We are moving toward eternity with Jesus!

Today, remember that you are part of “the Way” on a journey with Jesus. 

Let Him direct your steps. 

Follow Him.

Reflection Question: Reflect on your journey so far with Jesus.

Me, Myself and I - we all stand condemned before a righteous God. There is one reason and one alone that God flings wide the gates to His kingdom ... and that is trusting in the Person and Work of the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior. This is eternal life – that they know God and Jesus Christ Whom He has sent. Heaven’s admissions policy is to know God and His only begotten Son. It all centers around believing on the Lord Jesus Christ and His work on the cross, for apart from Calvary there is no forgiveness of sin – no salvation – no heaven

I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ - The Doctrines of Salvation - Salvation is found only through the Lord Jesus Christ, whose very coming into the world was to “save his people from their sins”. The name Jesus means “salvation.” His name really was Yeshua, the word that often is translated “salvation” in the Old Testament. The theme of salvation is “so great” it embraces many major doctrines of Scripture. No wonder Paul was not ashamed of this great gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ, and neither should we be

Yeshua Hamashiach - Jesus never corrected anyone as long as the person came to Him in faith. The name we use for the Son of God appears to be unimportant to Him. He hears our hearts regardless of the words we speak. The name we use for the Son of God, when we come to Him in faith, appears to be unimportant to Him. The power of the name is not in its pronunciation but in the person to whom it refers, our Lord and Redeemer and King
