The Way – The First Christians

May 28, 2017 Posted by Deacon Keith Fournier Inspirational, Uncategorized

The early followers of Jesus were first called Christians at Antioch – that means followers of Christ, followers of the Messiah.

So what were they call before that?

They were called The Way, and the new way because they lived differently. They lived differently because of their encounter with the Lord Jesus. They thought differently. They loved differently. They approach every aspect of their life differently.

Do we? Are we in fact following the Way of the Lord? Or are we separating out our life – the religious part and everything else.

It’s time to rediscover that to be a Christian, means to be a follower of the Way of the Lord.

God bless you.

Common Good is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Your contribution is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. No goods or services were provided in exchange for your generous financial donation.

Concern for the Common Good lies at the heart of our Christian vision and mission. The Apostle Paul wrote to the early Christians, reminding them “Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of working, but it is the same God who inspires them all in every one. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.” (1 Corinthians 12:4-7) Common Good Foundation serves its mission through projects which are connected to the four pillars of life, family, freedom and solidarity.
