What if I can’t answer their questions?

Over the years I’ve heard the same hesitation to sharing our faith over and over. It’s usually some version of this: What if they ask me questions I can’t answer?

The truth is, there are some tough questions, even for people who’ve studied their whole life. The Bible doesn’t say we have to answer every question about our God, but we do need to be WITNESSES of what He’s done in our life.

One of my favorite pictures of this occurs in John 9 as Jesus heals a blind man. The man, now able to see, is being questioned over and over by the religious leaders. They accuse Jesus of being a “sinner” and the man’s response is priceless.

It’s more than priceless though, it’s a reminder of how we can share Jesus with our friends. We may not be able to answer all their questions…but we can speak of what Jesus has done for us! So…keep sharing, keep inviting, keep loving!

“He replied, ‘Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!’” (John 9:25 NIV)
