Today's Favorite Verse: Acts 18:24-28
"And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.
This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.
And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.
And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace:
For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ."

I love this whole story of Apollos and how God prepared him to receive the gospel. He studied the scriptures and at that point only knew of the baptism of John. Then those that could give him more hear him and teach him. He embraces Jesus Christ and is a powerful missionary to others. I love how people are prepared in advance to receive the gospel of Jesus Christ, then in turn they convert others.
