Jesus’ earliest disciples were persecuted for following “The Way” before they were first called Christians at the church in Antioch. So what is “The Way”? Did Jesus come to give us a set of religious rituals and practices to follow, or did he come to show us the way back to God?
“Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:21-24
