ANOTHERANGLEIt’s hard to know what, or who, to believe any more. During the recent US presidential race, ‘fact check-ing’ became something of a buzzword. After each of the major debates, newspapers and news sites churned out articles investigating the validity of the candidate’s claims. Research was rapidly carried out, sources were checked, statements from the past were dragged up to prove or disprove many a point. With the internet making it possible to ‘fact-check’ in mere minutes, it is so easy to be caught out. Those in public life have to be more careful than ever that they are speaking the truth, that they are not contradict-ing what they have said previously, and that they can back up their statements with authoritive evidence.

John the Baptist may not have been subject to such rigorus ‘fact-checking’, but he was at pains to explain the source of his authority: ‘I saw the Spirit coming down on him from heaven.... I have seen and I am the witness’. John knew that people might not immediately take him seriously, so twice he emphasised that he did not know Jesus himself. He was not out to trick or mislead people. We can believe what this first witness says about who Jesus is, because his words come directly from God. INTERCOM
