How do we know Christ is the promised Savior?

The identification of Christ as the promised Savior is rooted in various Old Testament prophecies, including Zechariah 3:8-9, where the Branch is directly referenced. This title, associated with the high priestly role of Jesus, illustrates God's redemptive plan throughout history. Christ's life, death, and resurrection are the ultimate fulfillment of the Old Testament sacrificial system, confirming Him as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29). Furthermore, as the New Testament unfolds, we see multiple affirmations of His identity as the Savior in the genealogies, fulfillment of prophecies, and testimonies of His works and teachings, solidifying the truth that He is the expected Messiah.
