Today in our readings in Acts, we are introduced to Apollos!  Apollos loved God, but initially he didn’t fully understand that Jesus gave believers the gift of the Holy Spirit. Apollos understood repentance of sins very well – that was the “baptism of John (The Baptist)” that he preached.  Repent from sins and be baptized was Apollos’ message, without a strong teaching of the gift of the Holy Spirit after belief in Christ.  Well, Priscilla and Acquila more fully explained the Gospel and then Paul introduced the Holy Spirit to believers who were initially taught by Apollos before he learned the full Gospel.  A good overview of “Who was Apollos?” is at gotquestions.org at this link.  I love that they say at another commentary, “Apollos was teachable.”  Inferring that you and I should be teachable too when it comes to our faith!  Are you teachable?  Or do you know it all?  🙂
