Jesus Christ is The Way and aspeople followed him because he had said “I am the way”, they were called followers of the way. It’sthe oldest name for believers in extent – followers of the way. Later on because they weremanifesting the love of God and the greatness of the new birth, the Christ in them the hope of glory,they were called Christians – Christ-in. Because they saw Christ in them, therefore they called themChristians – Christ-in. So a Christian was to be one who was a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ andin their walk you could see the Christ. That’s Christian.
