They took him and explained they way of God more accurately.

Acts 18:24-28, Now a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, competent in the Scriptures. He had been instructed in the way of the Lord. And being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John. He began to speak boldly in the synagogue, but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him and explained to him the way of God more accurately. And when he wished to cross to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him. When he arrived, he greatly helped those who through grace had believed, for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, showing by the Scriptures that the Christ was Jesus.

Paul had trained Priscilla and Aquila but not Apollos; they were proactive in taking him aside to explain the truth more accurately that he might be even more effective. They did not let their pride get in the way, for it takes both a willingness to be corrected and a willingness to help others. Am I willing to help others by explaining the way of God more accurately?


Give us boldness in helping others to proclaim Your name accurately!
