Let's Go Back to the Bible

This is the way!

In the television series “The Mandalorian,” the Mandalorians live by a code (which basically summarizes their belief system) that is captured in the simple phrase, “This is the way.” Of course, as has been the case for hundreds of years, Scripture permeates culture.

To begin with, Jesus Himself stated, “I am the way” (John 14:6). He didn’t say that He was “one of the ways” but that He is the one and only way. Jesus had been talking about heaven and Thomas had asked, “How can we know the way?” (14:5). So, in response, Jesus said, “I am the way.” Thus, there is no other way “to the Father” in the heaven other than “through” Jesus! “He is the way!” Throughout the book of Acts, the exclusive nature of Christ’s church and the Christian faith is described as “the Way” (Acts 9:2; 19:9, 23; 22:4, 14; 24:22). When Christ put His church on this earth, He did not call it “one of the ways” but “the Way.”

Are you a faithful follower of Christ? Are you part of Christ’s church? “This is the way!”
