They took him [Apollos] aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
(Acts 18:26)
There is never a bad thing said about Apollos. He was devout, mighty in the Scriptures, eloquent, and evangelistic. Everything said about him is good. He was an honest man who was simply unaware of the importance of baptism in Christ.
What happened when he was taught the necessity of baptism? He became a more accurate man. Growing and accepting what we didn’t see before doesn’t negate our previous growth. Apollos’ pre-Christian service led to his baptism, and his honest heart prepared him to accept submission to new truth.
There is no shame in learning something new. Nor is there shame in accepting that you need to make changes. It is a shame that many of us refuse to accept truth because we must pretend we didn’t need it.
Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
