The earliest Christians were called “people of the Way.” Here in Acts,
we read how these Christians lived in community, sharing possessions,
land, and homes, caring for each according to their need. Their
distinctive, small yet growing group stood apart. Now, as a majority
religion, Christianity is no longer as distinct. But the way we live and
how we care for others should still set us apart as “people of the Way.”
The road we create must include a way to embody Christ’s ministry, to
live as Jesus lived, and love as God loves.
Savior God, you have called us to a unique path. You have called
us to a way that often counters the ways of the world. Help us
make a road that is faithful to all you expect from us. Amen.
