Read Acts 18

Scripture- Acts 18:25- For he vigorously refuted his Jewish opponents in public debate, proving from the Scriptures that Jesus was the Messiah.

Observation- Apollos didn’t have the New Testament to lay before others and show that Jesus was the Messiah. It was still being written. He did have the Old Testament though. He opened up the Old Testament Scriptures and showed how Jesus was the Messiah. He was the fulfillment of everything written there. 

Application- I can open up the New Testament and read about the miracles that Jesus did, I can listen to what he taught, I can see his death and resurrection,  and I will be convinced that he is the Messiah. I can also open the Old Testament and see how Jesus fulfilled all of it. From beginning to end, Jesus is the fulfillment of Scripture so that I may know without a doubt that he is the Savior of the world. 

Prayer- Thank you, Jesus, for fulfilling all of Scripture. It leaves me with no doubts that you are the promised Messiah. Strengthen my faith in you. Let me see you in every page of the Bible. Amen.
