Rev. Tse Amable | October 19 2025 | Acts 17:22-31
KEY VERSE: “He has given proof of this to all men by raising Him from the dead.” (Acts 17:31b, NIV)
MESSAGE:
God, in His dealings with human beings, always leaves us with clear evidence that leads us to the truth. For example, the created world points to the reality of a Creator — Almighty God. In Romans 1, Apostle Paul explained that what may be known about God is plain to humanity because God has made it plain to them. He concluded that people are without excuse if they choose not to believe in Him (Romans 1:19–20). Earlier in that same letter, Paul declared that Jesus Christ was “declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead” (Romans 1:4). If you are looking for proof that Jesus of Nazareth is truly the long-expected Messiah, His resurrection is that proof.
In his discourse at the Areopagus, Apostle Paul declared that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is proof that He will one day judge the world in righteousness. The fact that Jesus died, was buried, and rose triumphantly from the grave after three days is the unshakable evidence that you too will be raised from the dead to stand before the Just Judge and give an account of your life. Above all, the resurrection of Jesus Christ proves His supremacy — He is the King of kings and Lord of lords. One day, every knee will bow before Him, and every tongue will confess that He alone is Lord.
FEET AND HANDS FOR THE MESSAGE:
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of our faith. The Jewish authorities, aided by Pilate and his soldiers, tried to hide this truth but failed completely. It was the central message the early apostles boldly proclaimed. Can you defend the truth of the resurrection before unbelievers? You are a witness of this truth. Therefore, prepare your heart and your words so that when you are called to testify, you will speak with conviction and clarity.
PRAYER:
Father, I thank You that we serve a risen Saviour and Lord who has called me to be His witness. Help me to stand confident in the truth of the resurrection and to share it fearlessly with those who seek to know. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSING.
SHOWERS! BLESSINGS!!
The 365 DAILY BIBLE READING
DAILY word study: PROOF The word "proof" comes from the Greek "pistis," meaning assurance, evidence, or confidence that confirms truth.
In this verse, Paul explains that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the undeniable evidence that He is both Lord and Judge. It isn’t a theory or an idea — it’s a historical and spiritual fact backed by God’s own action. The resurrection assures us that Jesus has the final authority over life and death, giving every believer solid ground for faith and hope.
Reflect on this:
What does the resurrection prove to you personally — and how does that truth strengthen your confidence in Christ today?
