Rick Warren's Daily DevotionalSample

We know God's Truth: Jesus Christ Truth is not a principle. Truth is a person; truth is Jesus Christ. One of the clearest and best-known statements by Jesus is: "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me." (John 14:6 NLT) Notice Jesus says, "I am the truth ." He doesn't say truth is a religion, or a ritual, or a set of rules and regulations. He says "I." Truth is a person. This is what separates Jesus Christ from every other leader of every other faith. Other leaders have said, "I'm looking for the truth" or "I'm teaching the truth" or "I point to the truth" or "I'm a prophet of truth." Jesus comes and says, "I am the truth." A lot of people say, "I think Jesus was just a great teacher." But he couldn't be just that: No great teacher would claim to be God if he wasn't. Either Jesus is conning 2.3 billion people who believe a lie, or he was nuts, or Jesus is who he said he was. Everybody's betting their life on something. I'm betting my life that Jesus is who he said he was.
