Day 163
- Principle: Jesus Christ is "the way, the truth, and the life." (John 14:6)
- Book of Mormon Reading: Alma 15:13 - 16:3
- What changes of behavior came about after the people accepted Jesus Christ and were baptized? How does Jesus Christ change your actions?
- David O. McKay taught:
- “‘How can we know the way?’ asked Thomas, as he sat with his fellow apostles and their Lord at the table after the supper on the memorable night of the betrayal; and Christ’s divine answer was: ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. . . .’ (John 14:5–6.) And so he is! He is the source of our comfort, the inspiration of our life, the author of our salvation. If we want to know our relationship to God, we go to Jesus Christ. If we would know the truth of the immortality of the soul, we have it exemplified in the Savior’s resurrection. “If we desire to learn the ideal life to lead among our fellowmen, we can find a perfect example in the life of Jesus. Whatsoever our noble desires, our lofty aspirations, our ideals in any phase of life, we can look to Christ and find perfection. So, in seeking a standard for moral manhood, we need only to go to the Man of Nazareth and in him find embodied all virtues that go to make the perfect man.” (David O. McKay in CR, Apr. 1968, pp. 6–7.)
