“And Now, Here Is His Son”

Christian apologist, Ravi Zacharias, was invited back to the country of his family’s origin to speak at a conference. The people there did not know Ravi. When it came time for Ravi to speak, the conference host spoke about Ravi’s father for ten minutes. At the end of that time the only thing the host said of Ravi was, “And now here is his son, Ravi, to speak to us.” In that culture, they are accustomed to the son being of the nature of his father so that what you got in the father, you get in the son. Though the host did not know Ravi, he knew Ravi’s father and therefore did not hesitate to turn the podium to him. Jesus said, “Anyone who has seen me, has seen the Father.” (Jn.14:9)
