The followers of Jesus (Yehoshua) did not originally call themselves “Christian.” The term “Christian” was used to mock them. They called themselves the followers of “the way.” Jesus (Yehoshua) said he was “the way” and they followed after him on that path that he took. We are to do what he did, and he says if we don’t do what he did we can’t be called disciples of his. The path Jesus (Yehoshua) took was to empty himself of his own will, and to only do what the Father (YHWH) told him to do.
