Truth needs witnesses

Morning: Psalms 121, 122, 123; Judges 18:1-15; Acts 8:1-13
Evening: Psalms 124, 125, 126; John 5:30-47

On Sunday, the former mayor of New York and lawyer to the US President said, “Truth is not truth”, and caused a media storm.  Truth is elusive in this and every age. Jesus himself said, “If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true.”  Both meant: Truth is what objective witnesses verify.  We must then judge whether those witnesses are credible.  If the truth of Jesus must be measured against the testimony of credible witnesses, it’s not too much of a stretch, is it, to demand the same of the (lowly-by-comparison) president of the USA, or anyone else?
