This Is The Way
The only show in the Disney Star Wars franchise worth watching is a show called “The Mandalorian. It is about a tribe of people who are highly disciplined and distinctive in their looks and in their acts. Whenever one of the Mandalorians does something that is a part of their training, teaching or traditions, they will say, “This is the way.”
Now I’m an old Star War Fan beginning at the original 1977 movie, one of the only movies I ever stood in line to go see. Most of the new films and shows are to put it mildly garbage. It turned out Disney was the dark side. But the exception has been Mandalorian. I was a bit surprised when I heard them say, “This is the way” because that is a Biblical phrase found in from the book of Acts. Before Christians were called Christians they were considered people of the way, the way of Jesus.
People of The Way in Acts
Acts 9:2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way,
Acts 19:23 And the same time there arose no small stir about that way.
Acts 22:4 And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.
In Luke 10 Jesus teaches the Christian way. It is not a direct lesson like the Sermon on the Mount, instead it is a lesson in life, lived by the Seventy who were sent, the story of the Samaritan who showed the way and the Sisters in Bethany who lived it with Jesus in their home.
Or as Warren Wiersbe puts it, “Whether we are in the harvest field, on the highway, or in the home, our highest privilege and our greatest joy is to do the will of God. - Warren W. Wiersbe, The Bible Exposition Commentary,
