Passage: Acts 17:1~15
Keyverse: 11
1. Paul proclaims Jesus (1-9)
Paul made his way to Thessalonica and visited the Jewish
synagogue. There he proclaimed Jesus as the Messiah, who suffered, died and
rose from the dead. The message aroused jealousy in many of the Jews. They
brought charges against Paul and the believers, accusing them of defying
Caesar.
2. They examined the Scriptures (10-15)
Because of the turmoil, Paul took Silas and went to Berea. There
he also went into the synagogue and proclaimed Jesus. But in Berea his message
was received with eagerness. The Berean Jews are described as noble, because
they examined the Scriptures in order to verify the truth of Paul's message.
They sought the truth and believed. When the Thessalonian Jews heard about
this, they created a scene in Berea, and Paul was escorted to Athens.
Prayer: Lord, help me to examine your word with a noble and
truth-seeking character.
One Word: Examine the Scriptures
