Scripture’s Christ | Acts 17:1-15 | Manny Pereira

Many claim to know Christ, but which Christ? In Thessalonica, Paul opened the Scriptures to show that the Christ had to suffer and rise, a divine necessity hidden in the prophets and fulfilled in Jesus of Nazareth. Some Jews heard the claim and refused Him, clinging to a Messiah of their own making. In Berea others received the word eagerly and searched the Scriptures daily, letting God’s Word govern their trust and hope. The same Christ was revealed, rejected, and received. A Christ of our own fancy cannot save; only Scripture’s Christ can.
