Do you want to know the truth? We can help

Morning: Psalm 71; Judges 4:4-23; Acts 1:15-26
Evening: Psalm 74; Matthew 27:55-66

Michiko Kakutani’s recent book, The Death of Truth, describes tellingly how truth is endangered in our times. Some deliberately obscure truth ... about climate change, poverty or injustice.  After Jesus’ death, the power elite lied, calling him an impostor, because he challenged their power by seeking justice.  They said: ‘make (the tomb) as secure as you can’. Ultimately, we believe that you cannot shore up the truth against those who seek to twist it or manipulate it.  But isn’t that because we also know that the truth needs our help, and we are ready to give it?
