Acts 18:23-19:12
The examples of Peter, Paul, Silas, Barnabas, Phoebe, and others in the book of Acts are people who are ecstatic about Jesus and sharing him with others. So, how excited are you to do this? Acts 18 introduces us to Apollos. He is a man identified by two important characteristics. First, he had a heart for truth. He is described as having a “thorough knowledge of the Scriptures.” He not only knew the truth but communicated it to others. Is this heart for truth true of you? Do you know the Scriptures and share them with others? The second description of Apollos is that he was passionate about the truth. We have all probably had teachers, professors, or maybe even pastors, who communicated truth but did not seem to have their heart in it. They were speaking truth, but there was no passion, fervor, or enthusiasm behind it. On the other hand, Apollos spoke with a fervor and zeal. People instantly knew that he believed what he shared, and I am sure his passion was contagious.
Is this passion true of you? Do you have a fervor for Jesus and to make him known? If not, what is keeping your heart disconnected from the heart of God? Let us be like Apollos and speak with truth and zeal. Let us share our beautiful savior with everyone we can because we are so passionate about him we cannot keep the message to ourselves.
Father God, give me a passion for you, your Scriptures, and to make you known. Amen.
How can you grow in your heart for truth and your zeal for God to make him known?
