In a world of spin doctors, fake news and social media driven conspiracy theories it’s getting harder to know what is true and what isn’t. The danger is that we doubt everything and trust no one and, as we are seeing across the free world, that leads to increasing fragmentation and division. Having a truth that we can trust and on which we can build secure lives and communities is really important. But who can we believe and where is truth to be found?



Two thousand years ago Jesus was on trial for his life when he declared that he had come to testify to the truth. One of his followers, John, later wrote that Jesus hadn’t just told the truth but that he was the truth. In other words, truth was not to be found in a concept but in the person of Jesus. A bold claim indeed if Jesus were just another human being like you or I. But if, as the Bible claims, Jesus was the Son of God, then maybe that claim stands up; and if it does then a reliable truth on which we can build our lives may be found after all.
