阿頗羅…「經常有力地當眾駁倒猶太人，用聖經指明耶穌就是（猶太人所等待的）默西亞。」

當我們宣揚耶穌時，我們往往引導聽眾承認耶穌是以色列所盼望的受膏者，是天主的獨生子。這些都是關於耶穌的客觀且正確的陳述。當我們接受並相信這些陳述時，我們就領受了天主的恩典，得到救恩了。

然而，我們也需要認識到，我們腦中的信念只是一個起點，或者說是一個終點。

我們內心還有許多其他部分需要接受耶穌；這個過程需要很長時間；需要我們彼此相交，才能成為一個真正的耶穌家庭。

清晰的觀念固然重要；但同時，我們也可以捫心自問：僅僅駁斥錯誤的觀念就足以使人歸信嗎？

或許我們也需要在活生生地經歷耶穌的愛一起成長。

Apollos... “vigorously refuted the Jews in public, establishing from the Scriptures that the Christ is Jesus.”

When announcing Jesus, we tend to propose our listeners to acknowledge Jesus as the Anointed One expected by Israel and as the Son of God. These are objective and right statements about Jesus. When we accept them and believe, we receive the grace of God and are saved.

However, we also need to acknowledge that the conviction of our mind is as starting point, or a point of arrival.

There are many other parts of ourselves that need to accept Jesus; this process needs a long time; it needs the communion of our lives, to become a real family.

Clear ideas are important; at the same time, we can ask ourselves: is refutation of wrong ideas sufficient to convert others? Perhaps we also need to grow together in the living experience of the love of Jesus.
