The First Way

“We aren’t Left or Right. Christianity is a third way.” This statement is meant to help believers see the problems of over-identifying with worldly political tribes. The third way isn’t Moderate either. It’s a distinct, called-out, set-apart identity that finds its home in God’s kingdom, under Christ’s authority. This is what the word ‘holy’ means.

The idea of a third way can be improved. It’s really the first way. It’s the way we were originally created to live. Yes, humanity has wandered far, far afield. But Jesus has come to call us back. Repentance is a return. He made a way, and he is the way. The first way.
