In Christianity we learn about being in “The Way”.  The Way is that we walk according to the Righteous demands of the Most High God through Jesus.  None of us fully understand The Way.   For the ways of God are so very much higher than ours.  I won’t go into much more about this in this post.  It is a subject that could take up volumes of books, each 900 pages thick.  But today’s post has to do with another “the way”.

The entire world is busy chasing after whatever it can lay its grubby little hands on and keep.  All the while men, who are of The Way become in the way.  Happily, the man of this world runs after gain.  Then he comes upon a man of Christ and is caught with a problem.  Such men of Christ become in his way.  They stop him from his gain.  The resist being an accomplice to his desire.  And because of this we become an irritation.  Therefore, the people of this world perceive Christ’s people of The Way as being in the way.

It’s a curious play on words that few recognize as a good thing.
