Well,here’s is another one that came my way on FB that had me a bit puzzled:

(Pardon the bad grammar. It came that way)

I have no idea what that is supposed to mean. The passage that was referred to is:

“”And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus. This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.  And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.”  Acts 18:24-26 KJB

That passage introduces Apollos as a Jew who was “eloquent” (an orator) and “mighty” (capable and strong) in the Jewish scriptures. Priscilla and Aquila, a Christian couple, saw an opportunity to share the gospel message of Christ with him. Apollos believed the gospel, became a Christian and then proceeded to use his oratorical skills to share the message that Jesus was the Christ, the promised Messiah (vv. 27-28).

This is a beautiful story of a gospel opportunity and a new believer in Christ who then shared the same message with others, to the great credit of the grace of God. He then became an evangelist, apologist, church leader, and friend of the apostle Paul.

One response to the original post (I am not allowed to comment on the author’s FB page) was this:

“APOLLOS HUMBLED HIMSELF and listened to Aquila and Priscilla and accepted to their scriptural instructions, and the results of Apollos taking heed, Is in v 27&28. We need some humble Apollos’s And some Scriptural Aquila’s and Priscilla’s.” (pardon the bad grammar again)

It does seem like the lady who made that comment might have thought Apollos was prideful and needed humbling (her ALL CAPS). I could be wrong.

God had apparently prepared Apollo’s heart for the gospel, as He did with Lydia in Philippi. Can there ever be “too many” like him?

As always,

Be Blessed!
