Paul was a pretty cool guy. He might have even been the coolest guy to ever live! He went from killing Christians to teaching them almost overnight! He was shipwrecked, beaten, stoned, and always kept a great attitude. He healed the sick, raised the dead, and preached all over the world! See what I'm saying? Pretty cool.
But even as great as Paul was, he was willing to share the spotlight. This guy named Apollos shows up on the scene, and starts following behind Paul's ministry. A lot of guys would have felt threatened. A lot of guys would have doubled back to check on his teaching. A lot of guys would have, but Paul didn't. He wasn't insecure. He was sure of himself in Christ. And he was willing to share the wealth.
Paul understood that he wasn't the important one, Jesus was. And anyone who was accurately preaching Jesus wasn't a threat, they were an ally.
Paul was the man! And that is so true that he was willing to let someone else be the man too.
