Perhaps the first apologist was a man who was born blind and who was healed by Jesus.

And when he went back to his hometown and gave testimony to what Christ had done for him.

People beseeched 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.
