The Way

Acts 9:2
“He went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem.”

This high priest is Caiaphas who was ruling during the trial of Jesus. He also charged Peter and John and charged them not to spread the gospel. So with Saul coming for permission to go after the followers of Jesus there was only going to be one answer. Saul would eradicate Damascus from these Christians. It didn’t matter who they were, male or female, they would be taken off the streets.
Of course, his scheme didn’t work.
It is hard to stop the way. The way is more than a direction or a sign post. It is more than a road. The way is more than a movement. The way is Jesus. He is the way, the truth and the life. Try and stop those who belong to the Way and the Way will continue being the way.
