“The Way” (day 15 0f the challenge)

Wow, this challenge is really been hard for our family.  But we are so glad to keep at it.

This week during one of our reading sessions Jeremy pointed out something really cool that I want to share with you.  Did you know the phrase “the way” is from the Old Testament.  The Way is what the early church called themselves and is most often a reference to Jesus himself.  But here are some really cool quotes.  The phrase, “the way” actually is in the Bible 274 times.  Here are a few scriptures that we have read in our reading so far that I really loved.

Exodus 13:21

Exodus 18:20

who goes before you on the way, to seek out a place for you to encamp, in fire by night and cloud by day, to show you the way in which you should go.

So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.
