The Way

Acts 9:2 And asked for letters from him to Damascus for the synagogues, so that if he found any who were of the Way, both men and women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
The Way:

Denoting the Lord's full salvation in God's New Testament economy. It is the way God dispenses Himself into the believers through Christ's redemption and the Spirit's anointing; it is the way the believers partake of God and enjoy God; it is the way the believers worship God in their spirit by enjoying Him and follow the persecuted Jesus by being one with Him; and it is the way the believers are brought into the church and built up into the Body of Christ to bear the testimony of Jesus (cf. notes 22 151 and 211 in 2 Pet. 2).

As I was studying this verse, the Lord enlightened me of the THE WAY. The believers in Jesus Christ were known as those who were of the Way. Indeed, it was, and it is and will ever be, as the very God incarnated Jesus Christ is the only and one unique way. The way to God's full salvation, the way God reaches man and man contacts God, the way to experience and enjoy God, the way to know the true and living God, the way God mingles with man and becomes one with God, and the way to fulfill God's eternal purpose. This is THE WAY. And there is no other way, other than the Way, the Lord Jesus Christ. 


John 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the way and the reality and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.
The Way:
The way for man to enter into God is the Lord Himself. Since the way is a living person, the place to which the Lord brings man must also be a person, God the Father Himself. The Lord Himself is the living way by which man is brought into God the Father, the living place. The way needs the reality, and the reality needs the life. The Lord Himself is the life to us. This life brings us the reality, and the reality becomes the way by which we enter into the enjoyment of God the Father.

The way is a Person, the Lord Jesus Christ; since the way is a Person the destination of the way is a Person, God Himself. The way is not leading to a place but a Person! People who believed into the Way and walk the path of the Way are the believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, and the destination of walking on the way of the Lord Jesus Christ is a Person, God Himself. Even as they walk on the Way they walked with the Way to reach the Way. This is contrary to religions and their teachings. And to walk on the Way is not a matter of religion, it is walking by faith to fulfill God's eternal purpose. 

The Way is the way one has to take.
