Song # 1974.2 from Our Gospel In Song Collection by Col Johnston. In the Book of Acts we read in chapter 18 about a native of Alexandria called Apollos who was a Jew and who had a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures.
A Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was a learned man, with a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures (Acts 18:24). He had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and he spoke with great fervour and taught about Jesus accurately, though he knew only the baptism of John (Acts 18:25). He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they invited him to their home and explained to him the way of God more adequately (Acts 18:26). When Apollos wanted to go to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him. On arriving, he was a great help to those who by grace had believed (Acts 18:27). For he vigorously refuted the Jews in public debate, proving from the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ (Acts 18:28).
Thought for today: our prayer relies on faith, while our faith relies on prayer.
Thought for the future: we depend on hope for our future, and our future depends on our hope. Where will you spend your eternity?
