Christ's Suffering and Resurrection

Acts 17:1-3 
1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews. 2 Then Paul, as his custom was, went in to them, and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures, 3 explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus whom I preach to you is the Christ.”

Paul went to Thessalonica and headed straight to the synagogue, as he always did, to read and give the understanding of the Scriptures.  This exposition of the Old Testament was to show Christ - who He is, how God told He would suffer, die, and rise from death to life.  Then he revealed how Jesus was the Messiah, the Christ who did all and said all to prove the finger of God that wrote the Law on stone came in their midst as He moved His hand among men to write on their hearts.
