How did Saul prove that Jesus is the Christ?

Acts 9:22 (ESV)

22 But Saul increased all the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that Jesus was the Christ.

Saul convincingly demonstrates from the Old Testament Scriptures (see Acts 13:16–47),1 and the life of Jesus that he is the Christ. The theme of his preaching is thus the person and work of Jesus.2 Saul’s work in Damascus is his first missionary effort as a called apostle.3
