I Was Blind, but Now I See

When we first come to Christ, we may not have answers to all the questions people pose to our faith. But we know one thing: Once we were blind and now we see. Today, R.C. Sproul draws a lesson in apologetics from a blind man Jesus healed.
Perhaps the first apologist was a man who was born blind and who was healed by Jesus. When he went back to his hometown and gave testimony to what Christ had done for him, people besieged this man with all kinds of questions. He was not seminary trained. He was not sophisticated in understanding philosophy and that sort of thing. He said, “Hey, all I know is that once I was blind, and now I can see.” That was the only defense that that man had for his claim that he had found the Messiah. But it was a powerful defense, because he was speaking the truth, and he was ready to give answers for the hope that was within him to whatever extent of ability he had.
When we begin our lives as Christians, we don’t have a reservoir of answers to all of the questions that are out there. But that reservoir is something that needs to be deepened with each day of our lives. Each of us has a solemn responsibility before God to be equipped, to be prepared, and be ready to answer the questions that people bring to us about Christ.
