How do we know Jesus' authority is true?

Answered in 12 sources

Jesus' authority is affirmed through His miraculous works, the fulfillment of prophecies, and His teaching with divine certainty.

The truth of Jesus' authority is validated through multiple avenues. Firstly, His miraculous acts—such as healing the sick, casting out demons, and raising the dead—demonstrate His power over the natural and supernatural realms. Furthermore, Jesus' authority in His teachings, where He frequently differentiated His statements from traditional interpretations by asserting, 'But I say unto you,' reveals His divine wisdom and understanding. Lastly, the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies asserting that the Messiah would come strengthens the claim of His authority as the promised one, further solidifying the truth of His divine nature.
